Windows 95

That's what I have and it says I'm not affected Bonnie

Win 95? I thought you at least had Win 98se. I think were going to have to bring you and Les up to speed here soon. That way, we can all be outdated together. Whatdaya think?

Hi Ross. Would this be taken care of by regularly downloading critical updates? Or is it necessary to download it from the specific link you've given?

Thanks for continuing to warn us about this stuff. I for one, really appreciate it.
Kev

 

[Ross]

It should be available with regular critical updates, but Microsoft says this is as bad as the one that the blaster worm nailed everyone with and recommends getting the patch on pronto.

Hey Ross,

I'm just a Web server--I'm so depressed!

Pay raise? I'm supposed to be getting paid for this? Why didn't someone tell me this before. I'm so depressed.

It takes some of the pressure off of Hank. I guess you could say I'm a turbo charged moderator. I'm more functional and helpful now.
