}    Would somebody please explain this in normal english?  What 50k

}YOUR copy of warp has been infected by a IRQ-clone virus)

     By normal english, what I meant was in terms that us simpletons can 
understand.  (Hunk? data?)   I was in no way attempting to ridicule Mr. 
Starks english (Which, I have learned is a second language for him.  (and his 
english is far better than my communications skills in his native language.)  
Bravo, Mr. Stark.  My deepest apologies if I offended you, I was simply 
chastising my own ignorance of the innards of computers...)

Humbly,

Noel
