RC> Meanwhile, this is a virus echo, not the "what if" echo.
RC> "What if" every version of DOS and every version of Windows contained

RC> Goofball? "What if" reality was a myth, you're dead, and just

Very true...we can't leave ourselves in the future, or the hypothetical,
but these "what if's" I personally don't think are that unlikely. There
are almost certainly email programs out there that contain security holes
that make them read messages and do things with them (ie: macros)...
Don't we all wish these hypotheticals would stay "what-if", but it doesn't
always work out like that.
