A new Virus is on the rampage. If you get an E-Mail titled: "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" Get the heck rid of it! This Virus can even Nail Macs and IBMs, and so far there is no remedy for it. The virus takes advantage of the 'reformat' function in Norton Utilities causing it to erase all documents on the hard drive. Take the best of care everyone.

"It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" - Yeah, umm . . . I'm sure most the NSers would ignore this email title anyways, seeing how we all seem to hate religious solicitors
