Because I never boot from anyone else's disks, but rather copy
their software onto one of my customized workbench disks, I am
quite safe from the virus.  I suspect a number of other people
work this way too.

I am working on a small document indicating ways of using the
Amiga effectively.  I am mentioning, for instance, FACC, Conman,
vd0:, using the ram disk effectively, etc.  To help me in
this, I would appreciate a note from anyone who has a second to
give me the following information:

	- Their hardware configuration
	- Utility software they use
	- The editor they use
	- Their boot sequence (i.e., I copy an entire
		standard workbench floppy into VD0:,
		make all of the assigns point to vd0:,
		and then use both floppies as working
		space . . .) including what files they
		keep in RAM:, if any.
	- What they do with their machine the most
		(compile, text processing, etc.)

Of course, you only need give me the information you want.
I will post the resulting `article' to the net.  Thanks!
