After reading the attached, I turned  to the RISKS-DIGEST only to find
two reports of NEW virus programs disseminated to unwitting users of
personal computers, at least one  of which  may have been an Apple.

Sigh...perhaps the Risks Digest should be required reading for
Info-Apple subscribers.  (ONLY KIDDING, FOLKS, ONLY KIDDING to make a
point.)
