Re: Virus/Oops

Sorry all. I didn't intend to misinform you. Ignore the "PENPAL
GREETINGS!" message sent yesterday. Trojan Horse viruses are
imaginary little demons. The bulletin board in the computer
lab posted the warning. Thinking it was a trustworthy source, I
thought I'd try to save someone a little trouble. Instead, I ended up
wasting your time. I was right about the bored individuals part.

Thanks James, David, Dulce, Lucy and Stuart for dispelling my ignorance.
