Dear list

The real solution to all these virus problems is: DO NOT use Microsoft
Express, or at least don't run it on a Windows platform. The near-monopoly
of this mailreader/platform combination makes it very attractive for virus
authors, and they will constantly come up with new worms and bacteria ;-)

Viruses ARE of course written for Macintosh, Linux, Eudora etc, too, but
their market shares are so negligible that the dedicated havoc wreakers
won't waste their time. They can do so much more harm with MS products.

Just quit the Microsoft monopoly and you can watch the recurrent virus
scares (phony as well as real) with amusement in stead of apprehension.

Sort of.

Regards,
Ole Stig Andersen
