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!

Just to continue an ongoing rant typical of path forum, Id rather do the above work you mentioned than CLINICAL MEDICINE!!!!.......

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.

I hate the fact that reading a blood smear takes a fraction of the time required to gather the "relevant clinical history" from EMR.

I want to get some games for my brand new PC. Any recommendations??

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!
