Part of the problem is the "standard" configuration of most workstations. Many people use a mouse that requires you to move one of your hands back and forth between it and the keyboard. One of the first lessons I learned when I got my first laptop was how much more efficient you can be with a touchpad just below the space bar. With this configuration the "mouse" is practically part of the keyboard. I've taken to purchasing desktop keyboards with this same configuration.
I hear complaints all the time about how much censorship of the Internet is done by the Chinese government, then what do we do? We add all of China to our RBLs to block the spam, and end up blocking what legitimate e-mail does get through. Sounds like we are doing just what the Chinese government wants us to.
Grab a DW6000 from Direcway. Bi-directional satellite (no analog or isdn uplink needed) and provides you and ethernet port. Put either a router on preferably a transparent proxy server on it and connect up your access points on the other side. Make sure you have an UPS for each access point in addition to the one for your server/satellite.
The really sad thing is that some poor/. user was really happy that their story got accepted, until they read the comments and realized no one took it seriously.
How hard would it be to create a virus scanner for email servers that can keep track of if a virus forges the from and if so not send the bounce message?
Whis whole issue is another reason to implement Sender Permitted From (SPF). If everyone ran SPF this type of virus would not be able to spread.

Why would they? He keeps them in business. Anti-spam is big money. Without spammers, they're out of a job.
Rosenberg says this is not a joke. The lunar jobs were the joke.
