Thank you very much, I definitely needed that. We are incased in ice we
haven't had heat or electricity at home for the past 48 hrs, and will
probably not have it for another couple of days in addition to grant
writing. Thanks again.

Hi, all. Each Friday it seems my instrument repair guy, John, finds
some humor for all of us. I thought I'd pass this one along today
(they're not always so funny) definitely at the risk of being lashed for
clogging up our bulletin board. BUT I needed it this morning, so for
those others who could use a life (no, I meant lift),
Here goes
VIRUS TYPES
Ellen Degeneres Virus......Your IBM suddenly claims it's a MAC
Monica Lewinsky Virus......Sucks all the memory out of your computer

doesn't
care

it's there

desktop

80MB, and then slowly expands to 300MB

service you are getting

paying too much for the AT&T virus
