Buy some decent Anti virus software I guess. I got the Chernobyl virus once and it blew the hard drive. Mind you now it's a while ago I can see it was kinda entertaining on the screen whilst it was doing it's work but it cost an awful lot in new equipment and lost information. For those of a technical ( and not so technical ) mind visit www.grc.com and have a read of this site and try the "test my shields" and "probe my ports" bit to test out your computer. I believe that there used to be a free AV / Firewall on there but I haven't used it myself. I use Norton but that has to be set up for your computer or it can ( Allegedly) let a shed load of trouble through. Some viruses attach to all the names in an infected machines address book and then gets sent out automatically so that way you do know the person sending the email it's just that the sender doesn't know it's been sent ! Or invest in a applemac as I'm told viruses can't hit macs . Take care all, Alan Who do you know who has had Cancer ? Remember them by sponsoring my wife in her fund raising efforts for Cancer research here in the UK. Email me if you would like to help. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-shindell-list-digest@smoe.org [mailto:owner-shindell-list-digest@smoe.org]On Behalf Of RockinRonD@aol.com Sent: 11 May 2002 11:27 To: shindell-list@smoe.org Subject: [RS] Catching A Virus In a message dated 5/11/2002 4:56:34 AM Eastern Daylight Time, RonG writes: > >>I've been getting about one of these weird/wierd emails per day over the > last week myself.

It was my first RS concert, but from the reviews I've been reading here I think I got lucky. He was in a good mood and was very chatty. The show was being taped; it's going to be broadcast at some point on various Pacifica stations and perhaps on the internet. (If and when I get details I'll post them.) I can't provide a complete set list, but I do recall that he opened with Courier and closed (final encore) with Wisteria. Toward the end he did Transit, with a great introduction about California traffic vs. New Jersey traffic. He said there is no more traffic problem in New Jersey; they've solved it all. Someone in the audience yelled out "Yeah, by moving to Argentina!" He did covers of Sandy, America, and a song he called the most depressing song in the world, about a Job-type character in the West who ends up shooting his wife, his five kids, and himself. Sandy was preceded by a five-minute story about his introduction to the music of Bruce Springsteen by a cool older cousin. My favorite song introduction came when he mentioned that the Church of the Nativity had just been liberated. He said "Thank God. This next song takes place, well, I guess, there." The song, of course, was "Before You Go." It was incredibly moving to hear that song on the day the church was liberated. The audience was well behaved; the few shouted comments were funny and well-timed and he seemed to appreciate them. He was very open and receptive at the meet-and-greet afterward. Even my husband, who isn't a folkie by any means, loved the show. My undying gratitude to E, who scored the best seats in the house.
