Hey Rusty, I got a copy of the "ILOVEYOU" virus email. I read it and clicked on and saved the attached bug. Well of course I still have no virus scanner for Linux but it seems that this virus is doa when it arrives in a Linux system. I cat-ed the attachment and it looks to change the msft virus os reg tables. I tried to email the person who sent it to me and then called after I realized it was a virus. They could not get my email as they had to shut down their mail system. Ain't is a wonderful Bill Gates world. Tom Watson tosiwmee

He says it's Big Blue's revenge on the PCs that took over the server market 20 years ago. wired.com
