- Jeffery, correlation doesn't always mean causation. Playing "pass
- the disk" through university computers with out practicing "safe
- computing" can lead to difficultys (any of the PCs showing signs of
- unusual discharge or painful urination?). If you are actually
- associated with "business management" and "computer consulting" and
- did not take appropriate steps to check the disk before using it on
- your system, all one can say is:
- "What a bunch of IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
