FORWARD THIS MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. This is a hoax. If you don't believe me see the proof at: http://vil.nai.com/villib/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=10264 People have all the right intentions in distributing these warnings, but take the time to check any warning you receive. Network Associates is a good place to start: http://vil.nai.com/villib/alpha.asp I searched on "sandman" to find that this is a hoax. Another hoax indicator is the phrase "pass this on to everyone you know".

From: "JENNY LINDSKOG" Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 15:37:22 +0200 Reading Susan's charming post about the Ape got me thinking: What song would you consider the most romantic? I mean, the kind of romantic where you sit and talk with your soon-to-be girfriend/boyfriend and you start kissing each other. ;) Or maybe have a nice slow-dance to? Somehow I don't think ppl would choose It's Over, just because of the lyrics. ;) Three Words is kind cute, but maybe Two Solitudes is more my style...umm, I have to think about this...

Kings Blues Club & Grill is opening today in Times Square. It's located in the new Entertainment Walk on 42nd street, between Broadway and 8th ave. There are some great gigs coming up, including B.B. King himself this week. If anyone is interested in checking out the following, please drop me a line, as I will be attending.

I had four of them when I came into work (but since I use Unix mail, I am immune to these stupid Outlook email viruses). This one has an attachment that is called "LIFE_STAGES.TXT" -- at least, that is what it looks like. Normally text files are safe--they open up in Notepad and cannot do any harm. However Microsoft in their continually amazing lack of forethought created something called a "Shell Scrap Object File" with a .SHS extension which will always be hidden regardless of whether or not you have enabled extension display through explorer. So, this file is actually named "LIFE_STAGES.TXT.SHS" and with the SHS extension hidden, it looks like an innocent TXT file. This is pretty similar in operation to the ILOVEYOU virus, however it actually does open a joke in notepad so as to fool you into thinking it's harmless. So be careful or like me, switch away from Windows--or at least Outlook. More info about this (and information on a registry hack to force the display of the SHS extension) is at: http://vil.nai.com/villib/dispvirus.asp?virus_k=98668 ------------------------------ Subject: level 42 t-shirt From: Matt Rice Organization: NCGIA Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2000 16:16:08 -0700 For sale, Level 42 t-shirt, white, adult size small (34-36), short sleeves. It has a RITF red/yellow logo on the front and a Guaranteed-era green/magenta/blue logo on the back. This t-shirt is a leftover from a digest t-shirt project about 2.5 years ago. It is the last surviving shirt of its kind. It also has two urls - one for Eric Hansen's Level 42 homepage, and one for Vince Mora's original 'unofficial' Level 42 web page (that should date me a bit). I need to get it off my desk and send it to a good home. $5 US + shipping. First e-mail gets the shirt, with a preference for those that can pay in US currency.
