GOOD TIMES is a hoax. Only executable files carry viruses. Good TIMES is more like a chain letter. I hear about it, then I tell five people, then they tell five people, etc., until text containing GOOD TIMES has spread to every corner of the universe by "word of mouth". It's really a chain letter. Computer viruses are transmitted through executable files (i.e. programs). They spread when you run an infected program that contains the instructions that spread the virus. Text files are simply text. Any instructions they contain can only be acted upon by human beings. And now, back to more usual topics.... -Larry Lawrence P. Casson [log in to unmask]
