Thanks a lot for the tip quant. That would really suck if I already have a worm. I am still very excited about my new PC but am realizing again how much more stable macs are.

Two IT people were around a couple of days ago fixing that. Apparently they had to physically visit all 8,000+ computers within the hospital system and install the virus patch.

Sure made me glad to be a path resident!

That would have taken about 3,000 days here, I think. Unless of course the worm prevented computer game playing, in which case it would have been fixed immediately.

what kind of games do you play?

Mostly card/casino/puzzle games. I also like driving games.

I just got Doom 3. The graphics are great but I don't like that type of game. But it is really scary!! I have never had a computer game totally creep me out before.

My brother recommends Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

Myst totally crept (creeped?) me out!! Being abandoned on an island with weird pictures that moved when you touched them... brrrrr!
