Trust me, it's clean. >After listening to his travails about what the "Xeno" virus did to >his hard drive, *I'D* be hesitant to download it from his BBS! :-/ Wait!!!!, What's this about the "Xeno" Virus???? On a hard drive... This is the first I've heard on a virus on a hard drive. Is it true?? I'm hoping to buy a hard disk next month and am now wondering if I'm going to have to worry about getting a virus on that. 8-( P.S. Any suggestions as to a fairly cheap 40+ meg hard disk system for my Amiga 500? I can pick up a trumpcard + 49Meg st157n for roughly $600.00 If any 500 owners have recently gotten a good deal on hard systems there are a lot of us out here who'd like to find out where we can get a good deal. Thanks in advance. saiman@ucrmath.ucr.edu Never let a little thing like an IMPOSSIBILTY !ucsd!ucrmath!saiman Stop You!!
