That was the problem with Microsoft Outlook back in the late 1990s.
Remember the "I Love You" and the "Nimda" viruses, among others?

Not if you don't keep all that stuff on an infernal unsecure
unnecessary expensive little electronic TOY!

A got an ipad for my birthday a few weeks ago and it ****es me off big
time. I couldn't even get a free app without a credit card. There's
a news reader app that's $3.99 but gets bad reviews. I may get it
anyway just to try to get used the pad. A friend was anti apple like
me but he got one and hardly ever uses his windows machine anymore. He
spent an hour with me and the next day I forgot most of what he tried
to teach me. The wine we were drinking didn't help but it's so
different from windows I don't like it. It's got my cc# in it and I'm
afraid to do anything. Louise is having a hip replaced in a few weeks
so I'll let her figure the damn thing out while she's laid up.

Even when I could, I don't want to afford one! I don't want nor need
to feed the voracious $$$$ appetite of the telecom industry!!

I'm not sure which incident you're talking about but she screws up her
computer all the time. It's better now that I got her a windows 7
machine. I'm far from a geek but I've always been able to get things
back to normal but now you've got me thinking I should keep her
fingers off the ipad.

Is surprised you remembered that much. That's pretty close for so
long ago. That was when I started reading with no killfiles and some
smartass called me on it even though I had already announced it so I
did it again. I've got them back in place now and this group is much
better now.
