[techtalk] heads-up: M$ (e-mail) virus making rounds.

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello and good evening.

Why do you do not disable this vb-script crap ???

And if you can not disable, why do you use a mail system which is a 
security problem ??? There are many Shareware and Commercialware 
products which are Better as Outlook.

Sorry, I have no Win32 Workstation any more only my old and stable 
one Windows for Workgroups 3.11 with dotzend enhancements !!!

And for BIGGER things I have my Linux.

I think, the use of Outlook is irresponsible. If you like Linux an 
you know how to use it, administer it, 

GO TO YOUR BOSS AND TELL HIM THE ALTERNATIVES WITH LINUX !!!

Michelle

Linux rebootet man in drei Fällen: 
Neuer Kernel, neue (Board-)Hardware, Stromausfall....

Aber Windows rebootet man auch in drei Fällen: 
Schutzverletzung, Bluescreen, keinen Bock...
