Audrey, I have come to the conclusion that my files are so boring that the worm starved to death before he got through reading !! None have shown up on my computer. Seriously, I think its because I won't use a MS email program, after all ,if a hacker is going to try to hack into anything, 98% of the people in this world use MS products, so that is what they target. They want to make the biggest mess possible. However, I can tell when the hackers are up to something because my BlackICE defender flashes often. I still keep in touch with a "Parkie" in the Netherlands, who at one time was on this list, but he quit because in those days he had a very small hard drive, and all of our "Me Too" messages about drove him crazy. We were actually worse then about non pd email than we are now, because it was so new to us, finally the novelty has worn off I guess. So now I save everything I think he'd be interested in and eventually send them to him. Most of the time I find his medication is ahead of mine, so I'm not certain how much I'm telling him, but he seems to welcome the messages. You take care, Audrey. As Ever, just Marjorie 67/12
