Since 9:30PM, I got 71 more of these.

In 16 hours, that's 136 of them, for at total of 20,808KB. If I
was on dial-up, that would be 2 hours just to download viruses.

(Even if I was running SA, the emails would still get downloaded,
wasting bandwidth.)

People who voluntarily use Windows must either be crazy or sheep.
