Re: VIRUS WARNING

[Diane Gallagher-Hayashi <daichan@SHAW.CA>]

  Just want to confirm that this virus is a nasty one.  It hit my school
district on Thursday of last week (despite virus protection) and shut down
the computers all of Thursday, and Friday afternoon.  The computers were
down when I left for the weekend, so who knows what it will be like when I
get back to school this morning!
