That's funny! I was just scanning the "latest posts" and saw your reply and read the title of the thread to Mrs. Wasp. Then I looked down and there was the little Norton Antivirus Icon receiving the latest update slowing my slow 26.4 baud connection way down!!!

And I thought I was slow putting away my 300 baud modem (which I still have if you want to upgrade).

*bangs head against wall*

This bug is now 56% of all e-mail traffic I'm getting. It wasn't so bad until last night when it started bouncing around the news agencies. Once that happened, I got hammered.

What is it with people? Oh, hmm - it's a zip file. Well, the text doesn't tell me what to do, so I'll open the zip file and run what is inside... DUH!
