Bugbear, the newest and greatest MS virus replicated itself in my clients network. They use outlook and i guess they didn't install the patch yet and BLAM...instant infection!

They backup everything everynight, so i think they're fine but outlook really screwed em' today!

This is my first major MS virus since i switched to Mac. So i'm happy because i think the virus sent itself to me because i am in contact with so many people in the office. Fortuneately i can just delete that crap outta mail.app and go have ice -cream this friday afternoon!

Cheers to Apple!

tell your kid i challenge him to a beer drinking contest anytime anywhere! :mad:

Heheh! I remember coming in to work one day and finding an email from the Big Boss's executive secretary in my Inbox, saying "I love you."
Remember that one?

ha! yeah, when i think of all the time spent by us i.t. people and the time lost by everyone else during the "i love you" incident....they should really factor this kind of crap in when the decide which platform is "cheaper"
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity...

isn't it a nice feeling to know your IT people are too stupid to install a 1.5 year old patch?

Remember, these are the same guys that say Macintoshes can't network with Windows.
