    um, since the new bug is likely to take over windows operating systems (per the article), and I finally migrated over fully to Linux here at work on Friday, its not going to affect ME. Screw everyone else ;)

    Also, I run my own mail servers, so I can filter out most of the bugs for the other users on this network.

    Rendered useless at just the age of 9. Windows98 won't even make it that long. I wonder when they'll stop support for WindowsXP and some bug will come out that renders it pointless to use. ... or is it already pointless ..
