Most of these email viruses are sent with captions such as "hey--look at this". The people I deal with don't write in this manner, so it is always a dead givaway. OT: Almost have the Eduard Pfalz DIIIa ready to paint--after I get done with this @#!!%$ algebra class in three weeks! Keeping it strictly an OOB project, decals and all. Paul (who, knock on wood, has never had a virus in over 12 years at a PC) -----Original Message----- From: MAnde72343@aol.com To go utterly ot, those of you who work with computers professionally may find viruses a minor irritation, but non programmers who have to use computers daily anyway find them , what I expect the nasty little geeks want, frustrating and hateful. I for one would support the death penalty for virus makers, but only if it could be a cruel method (to match the crime) Would microwaving alive be painful enough?

It does, though it depends to some extent on the judges and the judging system. Mind you, when all the anomolies and arguments involved in trying to run model contests have been resolved into the perfect system, we'll be far too old to take advantage of it.
