Dear Rob Koch

I see you got hit by the Pretty Worm Virus.

That and other viruses are a current topic of some concern in my computer
club.

Do you know exactly how you contracted it?

Was it through an e-mail message only, or was it through an attachment to
an e-mail message?

Supposedly you can only contract a virus through an attachment to an
e-mail, but there is a rumor that an Argentine has succeeded in sending a
virus through a plain e-mail.

As soon as I get your reply I will send you some of the discussion here
in Penn Valley.
