You can only get a virus from some kind of executable file or a script file (something that tells the computer what to do). Since Napster only handles mp3 files (data files), you couldn't get a virus from the service.

Now any other service that allows other file types is a different story. If you were to download 'innocentProgram.exe' from me and run it, it could wipe out your hard drive :)

O.T. - John - Am I a panda geek? Absolutely. By the way, the pandas in San Diego have been separated, and since they have no one to play with, they just lie around all day and seem depressed. I have started watching the pandas at the National Zoo instead. They are very playful and cute together, plus their zoo cams have sound, so you get to hear the pandas squeal and yelp.
