    Yes, the series is called 'Royal Family', and it is still on and going strong.

    Prince Charles, after the death of his Princess Bride, has married the woman he stole and had a secret affair with. Prince Harry is rumoured to be gay, and has been caught smoking pot. The Queen won't step down because she thinks Charles is a total dill. Fergie, after blowing $2000 a day on fresh cut flowers, has to ask mummy for cash in between sucking millionaire bankers toes. It just goes on and on, with no hint of ending.

    Also, check out the 'Royle Family'. TV that only the Brits could think up. It is a situation comedy in which the characters seem to spend most of their time watching TV, unlike all other TV series where no one partakes of the Western World's most popular pastime.

    No. The newest versions of Outlook won't let you run a dangerous attachment such as a .EXE, .PIF, etc. It doesn't block incoming viruses, it just won't let you run them. Isn't that what the Linux zealots wanted? ('Well our OS doesn't run viruses automatically')
