George Harrison
by Jeff Smith 30 Nov '01

30 Nov '01

I was incredibly saddened to hear that George Harrison had died yesterday. He made a great contribution to the world of pop music both with & after the Beatles. In particular, if I understand correctly, George was the first major pop star to raise consciousness of a cause with his Concert for Bangladesh. The pop stars of the '80's with Live Aid, etc... were certainly following a trail that he had blazed over a decade before. Just wanted to express some of my thoughts & feelings about his passing.

Remember George Harrison
by Michele Piumini 30 Nov '01

Hi everyone, as many of you probably already know, George Harrison just died of cancer. Although the Beatles are my second favourite band (very very close after the Police), I think it is unquestionable that they have been the most important and influential pop-rock band in history. Take care, Michele

I noticed that one, I received the Terrance one a few days ago and the Stingfinn yesterday. It looks like it was generated from my e-mail that I sent out, but that's not my e-mail address. Does anyone know what's going on? I have a Macintosh, so I don't think this can affect me---or can it mutate my e-mail address. I've never seen a Stingfinn post before. I feel like we're in some twilight zone! Michelle

Actually I am pretty sure that Luis did send the virus. I deleted his message before it opened and I didnt get teh virus (thanks whoever posted that warning, i could kiss you <smack>). We arent blaming Luis. Virus' spread without the user knowing it. The email from him that I recieved DID have an attachment. I got rid of it and havent had a problem and am not receiving weird emails. Take care Jane

I stand corrected. There apparently is a security problem with certain versions of Outlook and Internet Explorer that will allow an e-mail to automatically run the attachment. Here is a link to Microsoft with a fix (notice that they say the problem is with IE, not Outlook?): http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security… lletin/MS01-020.asp I guess I should never say never! You shouldn't be able to get a virus by opening an e-mail, but apparently the virus-writers found a way. Tommy TMead17327(a)aol.com >Don't worry, you can never get a virus just by opening an e-mail.

The worm, called Badtrans.B, is a new variant of the older Badtrans virus, according to antivirus companies. The variant is executed when a user opens an infected e-mail, and does not require a user to click on an attachment, as many mass mailer worms do, according to Activis and TruSecure virus alerts. The worm exploits a security vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express e-mail clients to automatically execute the attachment when the e-mail is opened, they said.
