I should probably remove it from my desktop as my gf might run it by accident, but anyway it''s a whopping 152kb, haha.
I''m tempted to upload it and include it in my profile.

Thats a pretty clever email.

Someone who didn''t know better would probably fall for that one if the email was spoofed.

Only if by clever you mean that they didn''t misspell every second word, which puts it a cut above most of the internet hoaxs out there.

On that subject. I had NEVER had a virus since the Amiga days (those were nasty), until my sister visited me a while ago and borrowed it to "check her e-mail" and of course had to open an attachement with klez. I didn''t have any AV software then...

Heh, reminds me of a wrong IP hack I did to scare a friend, but I got it wrong. I was on cable, so I was able to access his files and install netbus. Fun

So I activated netbus and type "Hi akira" and the guy sees what I''m doing and responds via my netbus infection and goes "Who". So now I''m confused, so I ask "Is this xxx.xxx.xxx.213" and he says "No, this is xxx.xxx.xxx.223".

MS no longer supports Win 95, and hence, they do not put out updates for it any longer.

I got that e-mail last week! I''m thinking of running it on my old pentium that hasn''t got any software on it anyway, to see what it does. I''d be pretty disappointed if it only opened up some ports without displaying a fun animation or clever joke.
