Skarpi min,

Sorry to hear about the virus attack. I had one a few years back and that is when I determined that I would not store data files solely on my computer. Consider getting some of the various flash memory units. I picked up a 5 gigabyte flash memory which plugs into the USB port. All files and important data go on it. I also back up all files every so often to a CD. I know how devastating this can be. And make sure that you get a good Spy Sweeper as well as Norton. I have both and they automatically update and run sweeps for me on a weekly basis.

I am hoping that you can make Getaway, my dear friend. It is a great gathering to begin with, and made all the better by your presence.

All the best,

Mick
