Shhh..that's a secret Craig! Didn't you know AOL actually designs viruses at the corporate headquarters and distributes them all over the web? Steve Case is actually a programming guru...he doesn't run the company, he just sits and develops polymorphing viruses!

I just couldn't resist. What a pile of absolute b.s. Customers with fried hard drives..majority AOL users. That's a good thing - the majority is using AOL. Fried hard drives from viruses passed through the net - not good. Now, are we going to blame AOL because it connects a consumer to the net? And that consumer goes around downloading who knows what? Gimme a break. That is what virus scan software is for and prudent downloading.

If a hard drive is frying because of a simple virus, that hard drive manufacturer better get back to the drawing board!

S. ...virus free! :-)
