Has there been a problem of commercial software being infected or 
systems for that matter?  I wouldn't think that there would be, but 
just curious if anyone has heard of such an incident.

Yeah, I read your post to Jim and it sparked me to think about this 
for a sec'
 
When I opened up my campaign account at the bank I filled out their 
forms and the Bank determined it to be Not-for-profit and as a result 
I did not have to pay the $8.00 fee each month for the account. I 
had to get some numbers from the IRS but political accounts are generally 
Not-For_profit. Perhaps he did put money from his camapign fund into 
his own personal bank account. I was told by several elected officials 
that I could do this if I lost or what ever (I didn't do it--it is 
still there) the catch? You have to report that money as Income on 
your State and Federal Tax returns if you do this.

A virus will only cause problems when the program it has infected
is executed.  Simply moving files around with a floppy or modem
cannot cause a virus to activate.

It is suggested, but not required.  My bbs has areas for tested and
untested uploads.  When you download an untested file, you should
ALWAYS scan it for viruses and take precautions.  However, most
computer viruses are not spread via bulletin boards, but via shrink
wrapped commercial software.

Practice safe computing!

Ticket scalping is legal in Alabama, so you aren't doing anyone any 
favors. Once you get to New Orleans, then you would be doing someone

Talk about crazed, an article in Sunday's paper (I think it was John 
Pruett's column) mentioned that it is likely that Auburn will be 
sanctioned for 1 year, meaning no bowls and no TV appearances.  This 
means the Auburn-Alabama game won't be on TV!

And you think trying to find Sugar Bowl tickets is difficult...

I don't have a problem with that.  In fact, why don't you call
the charity that you gave them to, and volunteer me to drive
their group to the game.  That way, everyone is happy, and they
would get to use the tickets, for a memorable Christmas season.

turnage is hampered even more by the fact that I upgraded my OS
and I did not back up the Empire drawer...(Due to the fact that
I had the original disk in my locked box. Once I reformatted the
HD I went to reload Empire and it was a corrupt disk. So now I
must await a replacement disk from Interstel.
  Don't know how long it will take.
I am trying to locate a duplicate I might have made of the
original, I usually do that, but have had no sucess yet.
Doing the best I can.

First of all Jim, I have met the Governor, he supported my

fact, I have his letter of support in a file right next to one
from James Record. I didn't publicize that stuff, but not
because I felt it would harm me.. I just wanted to see how I
could do on my own.
 Second, Governor Hunt can't do tax reform by himself. It takes
a willing legislature to get it acomplished. Remember the Fob
James Constitution? That was a great idea which died because the
Legislature would not back it. 
 About Governor Hunt's agriculture position, I have never read
anything about it, I have done a lot of Microfilm reading at the
library and have not run across it yet. If you tell me the year
this ccured I would be happy to go back and check it out.
 About supporting the GOvernor, I will. Until someone PROVES he
is guilty I am not going to hang him high. 
 Yes, I still believe in the Constitution and the Bill Of
RIghts.
  It was very pleasant to see you again at Mickey Dees the other

Uploading simply moves a file from one system to another. It may
be an infected file, or it may not--it doesn't matter, uploading
doesn't execute the file.

In order to become active, the infected program must be executed
(run, etc.) so that the viral code can do whatever it's designed
to; infect some other files, infect the boot sector (a *program*
that infects a *boot sector* is called a "dropper"; usually, boot
sector viruses can't spread except via media, and then only when
the system tries to boot from the infected media), check for certain
conditions to be met before doing something (usually a certain date),
or do random/specific damage. If an infected program is not run,
the virus will *not* spread.

This does not mean I consider it a safe practice to keep infected
files on a system. Our viral samples at work (no, we *don't* give
out copies, don't ask) are kept on floppies, in locked cabinets,
clearly marked.

Stupid as opposed to WHAT? Those evil bang-path atrocities? Yuck!

Keep this in mind...Intergraphers' domain addresses are all anyone
needs to successfully send mail from ANYWHERE on the Internet,  I'm
talking global here. Are phone numbers to ANYWHERE in the world that
simple? Nope. Are snail mail addresses to ANYWHERE in the world that
simple? I don't think so. The domain name system is a wonderful
thing. IMHO,  as always. :)
