I remember a few years ago the HYPE in the media around the Michael Angelo Virus. I can't remember the date it kicks in, but, anti-virus software sales skyrocketed. I wonder who was behind that? After these people bought the software, I bet most don't keep their software updated. I will say it again, WHO WAS BEHIND THE Michael Angelo Virus HYPE? Did anyone benefit? I have had viruses, most of them boot viruses. Just a minor annoyance.

Re Gary North, definitely a man with a relentless bee in his bonnet and not a good source.

Jeff - I bought a book by Howard Ruff about the coming economic problems. Gary (from my reading somewhere) worked with Howard during the 70's. INTERESTING! Scary Gary & Herr Ruff!! Very interesting when one connects the nuts. Ruff called me out of the blue almost a year ago...I had no idea who he was. I'd only vaguely heard of "Ruff Times" & was entirely clueless as to it's perspective on life. Ruff seemed very reasonable...I've noticed that with enough practice you can really cover your own motivations as you pump someone elses motives. He was very smooth. Funny...he never called back. I wonder what it was I said? <g> - David
