off topic: spam or real?

[David Poehlman]

how can I delete all of the files on my hard drive and then forward the
message?  I guess I'd have to shuffle my infected addressbook over to
another unsuspecting pc and then send the message.  on the postal
scheme, it's flatly not gonna happen according to the postal service
themselves.

I guess april first is upon us.

I have not seen this, but my wife has received several pieces of email
urging everyone to complain about a proposed regulation that would
charge
everyone five cents apiece for an eamil message. I insisted that it was
a
spam, but after all, we are now living in a brave new world, so I
thought
I would ask if anyone else has any information about this.

While I am off the same topic, I recently received the following as an
attachment called "virus.doc" in MS Word format:


You have just received the Amish virus..........



Since we have no electricity or computers, you are on the honor system.


Please delete all of the files on your hard drive.


Then forward this message to everyone in your address book.




Thank thee
