[GEM Development] lets talk about it!

Oh well. I suppose if you lived purely in the GEM world, then viruses
wouldn't be a problem (well, DOS viruses might, but GEM itself has no
viruses :))

Hehe.. I remember I had a "ping pong" virus once.. it'd just randomly
make me play "pong".. haha I remember once.. mum came in to check I was
writing my english essay in high school, and I was.. using WP4.5 ..
typing away.. she comes in and pong loads up.. dammit!! :)

My little way to get around that "spoof" email address thing.. they
usually can't mimic a "FROM IP" portion in the header.. so you just need
a better mail client :) Horde's pretty nifty .. I run it on my personal
account.

Chris.

I assure you I don't have a virus, and I doubt Shane has/had either. As
Ben said, it's one of these viruses which spoofs From addresses... very
annoying, especially when you get all the bounces from mail servers that
pick it up as a virus and return to the (apparant) sender!

Oh well. I suppose if you lived purely in the GEM world, then viruses
wouldn't be a problem (well, DOS viruses might, but GEM itself has no
viruses :))
