My first solid lead on the boys came from Banj in Florida, but I had a call from a doctor in Boston about 4 guys with the clap who had come in complaining they'd caught the Melissa virus...sounds like them in both places. Gotta' check.

Ah, Melissa! The memories I have of ye!

(Hah! I'm text-only!) I can't get the Virus 'cause I cant get the attatched file!)

(When you think about it, that's kinda like not being able to get VD 'cause you can't do the horizontal bop! Sob....Sniff....Whaaaaaaaaah!)

OK for those who haven't heard of it yet...

Warning goes:-

[the name of someone you probably know]," is being circulated on the Internet. Attached to the message is 40K Microsoft Word document named "list.doc."

I don't have an address book (except the one in my head) so where can the virus send itself to? And my cousin is Melissa, what have you guys been doing, eh? >o(

As I understand it, this is only a problem if you are using Microsofts Outlook, is this correct? I use Netscape and therefore should not be affected...Nes pa?

The last part of your message was garbled. Looked like Nes Pa? Better check your software.
