viruses are fun

I love AIM. Time suck, free communication, multitasker's delight. And it even reconnects you with people you haven't talked to in awhile, especially when viruses are involved. Apparently there is this virus that makes Windows AIM users IM their buddies with something to the effect of "click here". The here, of course, is a link to an executable that then downloads automatically. Well, it would take one heck of an executable to do anything to my iBook, so I'm pretty cavalier about viruses. (Work, however, is a whole other matter). The fun about this one, though, is that it starts a conversation. The person has to apologize, yada yada yada, and before you know it, presto-you've caught up with somebody you haven't IMed in two years.
