Someone used AT&Ts MMS gateway to send you something?

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

Respond with "who are you?" Or "I don't know you." It's likely a mistyped address entry, and the whole idea behind responding is to get the other person to take a hard look at what they typed and give them a chance to figure out that they goofed.

It's an AT&T mobile number, nominally in Texas. Google associates it with a real guy.
I'm with Glenn. It's probably a wrong email address on their part.

another pic today
of note, thunderbird does not consistently place these email in the Junk folder
I have to define each as junk
so something is up
I might call as I have CID blocking
the pictures are out of focus or idiodic
so something is really up here.

Goofy kid goofing? It's easy to see this as something stupid and benign, just as it's easy to see it as a threat. Call 'em and tell them to stop.

of note the emails have stopped. total 3, 1 a day.
no new ones in the Junk folder either.
did not call nor email.
I had the sense that was the idea or to detach the attachments to the desktop.
