Yeah... that reminds me of a trip that a bunch of us took to florida...

I went with my ex, her friend, her friend's boyfriend, her friend's mom and dad...

We had four of us in my ex's sister's car and her friend's mom and dad in another car. We made it clear to Atlanta without any trouble but then her friend's mom and dad's car quit completely. It had to get serviced so we ended up spending the night in Atlanta... The next day we discovered that they couldnt fix the car and so the mom and dad had to rent a car.

On our way home, the dad decided that he would go ahead home (cause they didnt want to rent out the car for a full week) and let the mom come home with us... There were 5 of us in the car for 10 hours when we decided to stop and eat. When we got outside after eating we saw a huge puddle of oil under the car... We filled up the car with oil and headed to the next exit to find a shop to fix the car. It turned out to be the oil filter so we had to have it fixed

Viruses is a mistake, so commonly spread that it's now been accepted in certain dictionnaries, just because it's less costly and less trouble than correcting everyone and everything.

Virus comes from latin, and pluralization of latin words ending in "us" is done by changing to "ii". Do a google search on virii (http://www.google.ca/search?q=virii&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta=).

Learning enlgish since 1903.

It might be a little bit more beleivable if you said 1993... even then back then with the 56K modem who would'a thought about it...

Nimloth.all 3 of the said products,and still 5 virii,

When the firewall gets turn off by it,what chance have you got?

And it did'nt come in on an e-mail either...

I have traced it back to a patch file that i D/L'd,who'd have thought?

It's the very first time that i've ever got infected as i'm really careful,but it just goes to show you,

No matter how carefull you are,you can still get caught with your pants down.

Good idea Nimloth <pulls down pants>

Only if Michle Jackson knew this secret, he could have avoided a lot of trouble.
