Oh, I read about that. And my clueless brother is on GAIM whining 
about how he got BADTRANS. 

First, I told him to get Norton AV and update it every week. Second, 
I told him to keep an eye on the Symantec site for warnings. Third, 
explicitly told him not to use Outlook or open mail with 
attachments. I even downloaded the free Eudora 5.1, installed it, 
and carefully walked my brother through using it.

Yet he managed to ignore all my instructions and warnings. When I 
visit my folks this Christmas I'm bringing along my FBSD install 
media, wiping my brother's disk, and installing a real OS. Maybe the 
little shit will listen when I teach him to use Window Maker, 
Sylpheed, XMMS, Mozilla, and Konqueror.

I don't need MS-related headaches from my luser brother; Xiombarg 
knows I deal with enough at work. Of course, Xiombarg also knows 
that Anthony Atkielski will see this and say that I shouldn't be 
expecting my brother to use BSD on the desktop.

Wanna get secure? Open a DOS prompt and type "FORMAT C:". Then 
install BSD. >^..^<
