Hey COOL! I just got a copy of that virus from Aldo Ross, complete with old e-mail attached! It's attached to an e-mail topic discussed here months ago "Is it Art or Engineering". I think I'll have some fun with this one. (also a Mac user) BEWARE though; it does exist. The attachment name on this one is "fun.pif" Cheers,
Duane Kennard
