[sdiy] apology for roland ic virus..

[steven_thomas]

Hi deknow..let me first apologize since it was me who  used the term 'sad'
I'm
afraid. I guess I was upset at the thought of infecting lots of people and
I put two and two togther and well.... I got suspicous because I was asked
to forward a mail with a virus in it. Anyway hope you accept my apology. At
least it has meant that people like myself are more aware of how easy it is
to spread these things using windoze..Now I have antivirus program running
in real time which detects these attachments.
Anyway ..sorry for jumping to the wrong conclusion.
cheers steve
