I had a problem senmding this, so I am resending it. If you get
it twice, sorry!
I have received a message about two internet viruses. The first is
Good Times, which as old stagers may remember is an Internet urban
myth. The other, called PKZIP300 may be for real, so I am sending
this for what its worth. Apologies if this was posted while I was
unsubscribed.
God bless.
