How often do we see posts because someone has not configured correctly or
because they have not read the manual. I said the odds where low, but can you
honestly say that out there soomewhere, there is not an amiga user who has
set up some script which would leave them at the mercy of of a small VB
Virus. As long a the Commands match there is a chance. I can write a Virus
in old 8bit based Basic, I'm also pretty sure I could come up with a MIME type
which would leave my Amiga at it's mercy.
