I know that her other one is a Taylor (which I went to Guitar Center to drool over, and yes, it is worthy of drool... and maybe even Jewel.) At any rate, I think that it has an 'S' on the headstock, but I'm not too sure. So, any of you other guitar-heads out there... do you know?

If you receive an email message with the subject line "Good Times", DO NOT READ THE MESSAGE, DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY. Please read the messages below. Some miscreant is sending email under the title "Good Times" nationwide, if you get anything like this, DON'T DOWN LOAD THE FILE. It has a virus that rewrites your hard drive, obliterating anything on it. Please be careful and forward this mail to anyone you care about" The FCC released a warning last Wednesday concerning a matter of major importance to any regular user of the Internet. Apparently a new computer virus has been engineered by a user of AMERICA ON LINE that Is unparalleled in its destructive capability. Other more well-known viruses such as "Stoned", ""Airwolf" and ''Michaelangelo" pale in comparison to the prospects of this newest creation by a warped mentality. What makes this virus so terrifying, said the FCC, is the fact that no program needs to be exchanged for a new computer to be infected. It can be spread through the existing email systems of the Internet. Once a Compute is infected, one of several things can happen. If the computer contains a hard drive, that will most likely be destroyed. If the program is not stopped, the computer's processor will be placed in an nth-complexity infinite binary loop which can severely damage the processor if left running that way too long. Unfortunately, most novice computer users will not realize what is happening until it is far too late. Luckily, there is one sure means of detecting what is now known as the "Good Times" virus. It always travels to new computers the same way in a text email message with the subject line reading "Good Times". Avoiding infection is easy once the file has been received simply by NOT READING IT. The act of loading the file into the mail servers ASCII buffer causes the "Good Times" mainline program to initialize and execute. The program is highly intelligent. It will send copier of itself to everyone whose email address is contained in a received-mail file or sent-mail file, if it can find one. It will then, proceed to trash the computer it running on. The bottom line is: if you receive a file with the subject line "Good Times", delete it immediately! DO NOT READ IT. Rest assured that whoever's name was an the "From" line was surely struck by the virus.. Warn your friends and local system users of this newest threat to the Internet!

PKZIP Trojan A Trojaned version of the popular, DOS file compression utility PKZIP is circulating on the networks and on dial-up BBS systems. The Trojaned files are PKZ300B.EXE and PKZ300B.ZIP. CIAC verified the following warning from PKWARE: Some joker out there is distributing a file called PKZ300B.EXE and PKZ300B.ZIP. This is NOT a version of PKZIP and will try to erase your harddrive if you use it. The most recent version is 2.04G. Please tell all your friends and favorite BBS stops about this hack. Thank You. Patrick Weeks Product Support PKWARE, Inc. PKZ300B.EXE appears to be a self extracting archive, but actually attempts to format your hard drive. PKZ300B.ZIP is an archive, but the extracted executable also attempts to format your hard drive. While PKWARE indicated the Trojan is real, we have not talked to anyone who has actually touched it. We have no reports of it being seen anywhere in the DOE. According to PKWARE, the only released versions of PKZIP are: 1.10, 1.93, 2.04c, 2.04e and 2.04g. All other versions currently circulating on BBS's are hacks or fakes. The current version of PKZIP and PKUNZIP is 2.04g. The current version of PKZIP is available in the CIAC Archive, or directly from PKWARE.

I've got my "PRO HARRIS" button still on my Jewelstock t-shirt. Jewel's performance was incredible! It was so much fun meeting everyone. I took lots of pictures! I think I may have been the only person to capture the ever elusive D.Harris on film. Everybody looked just like they were suppossed to look and their really was a feeling of oneness. Akira, who is very handsome, remembered all of our names and had this way of making everybody feel special. Rob gave everyone hugs and he really does carry a stuffed animal with him. Sinja arrived, but his luggage did not. Greg Dunn and his daughter were hard to miss. Not because of Greg, though. But she wasn't mean, or evil and I don't think she worships the devil, and she didn't kick us with her combat boots. She's really sweet and pretty. Liz and her good sport sister were easy to pick out. I took a picture side by side and it will go to the post Jewelstock page. I tried to get photos of everyone for all of the nonattendees. Dan Stark looks way to young for his age. Hey Dan, you left your towel in our room. I am just keeping it for a souvenier. Unless you really want it back.

Jewel certainly is one of a kind, and I was pleased to see that others have begun taking an interest in this young, talented, up-and-coming artist. I recently saw her in concert, and she won the affection of the entire audience. I just hope that she continues to receive the recognition and praise, for no new performer deserves it more. Natalie Jones msstipe@aol.com RANDOM NOTES: Whoever questioned the attention span of today's youngsters was probably not in the mosh pit at the 11-hour (the equivalent of a school day and several detentions) HFStival at RFK Stadium, in Washington, D.C. Among the day's 20 acts: Goldfinger and the Presidents of the United States of America. All were taken with what Foo Fighters' Pat Smear dubbed his "Republican conservative working-secretary look." "Pat's outfit is kinda turning me on," said Afghan Whigs' Greg Dulli. "But anything on Pat is naughty." Despite opening with music from "Jesus Christ Superstar," the Whigs' set was the highlight. "I think we're a rock & roll band that has a bigger record collection than a lot of bands," explained Dulli. Some might say too big. Alas, Jewel's surprise set was but one song -- she was hit by a Frisbee flung from the crowd. "Why don't you throw bras and shit?" said Everclear's Art Alexakis, perhaps feeling a bit naughty himself. He then dedicated Tom Petty's "American Girl" to his daughter Annabella. CHARTS: Jewel's "Pieces of You" is now the number 10 album on Rolling Stone Readers Top 10. Woo-hoo! Those are the obvious highlights. As I read through the magazine over the next two weeks, I'll update you if any more RS Jewel content rears its beautiful head. I searched through my Digest library back to issue #141, and I found no posts from Natalie Jones. She may be a lurker though. You out there, Ms. Jones? It would seem that the Eastern seaboard has become a disaster area. We have planes crashing, cars veering into ditches, drivers getting ticketed for speeding, and Angels pleading innocence in courts of law. Suddenly, I don't feel quite so bad living in California, even if it made JewelStock intangible. I'm sure the Rolling Stone article "Goodbye California? The Coming Killer Quakes" will change my mind directly. Regarding the crash of TWA Flight 800, is anyone slightly disturbed by the media feeding frenzy over this? The disaster is tragic enough as it is, but the incessant speculation and analysis in the absence of trustworthy facts seems to me like a questionable and painful misuse of journalism. I know the networks and the newspapers have a duty to report, but the flow of unsupported theories and rumors are unnecessarily riling up a nation that's already been put on edge by the Saudi bombing and the threat of Olympic terrorism. I suppose as long as we can separate the wheat from the chaff we can maintain order, but a lot of people are already too eager to believe some of the more sinister thoughts regarding the disaster. Of course, I'm only adding to the chaos surrounding the crash by mentioning it. So, on to something else. JEWELSTOCK! Let's hear some long and captivating reviews! I don't care how many or how long they get! The more I hear about what went down at the Bearsville Theater, the more detailed and accurate the hallucinations will be! You can leave the French encounter with the stuffed purple beast to my imagination though. Mmmmm ... If a Jewel NEWS sub-list comes to a vote, I'll vote "yea." It's a good idea, as long as it doesn't suck the life out of the present list. - - Carter Navarro, Fuzzy Fetishist ------------------------------ From: Rafa the archangel <75271.2740@CompuServe.COM> Date: 19 Jul 96 16:22:50 EDT Subject: Guys , I already vomited twice(it's Rafa) (it's Rafa , I changed my user name) Fellow angels: Last night was my worst second gig of my life , and now I wake up to be confronted with all of your happy and fun Jewelstock memories.
