I know this because each week, just after The Straight Poop goes out, I receive hundreds of virus messages. Do yourself and everyone you correspond with a favor -- get a good antivirus program, keep it up to date, and use it religiously. You can get AVG AntiVirus, an excellent free program, at http://www.grisoft.com/. 111111111111111111111111111111111111111 The Straight Poop featured WEB SITE This issue of marks the beginning of our fourth year publishing The Straight Poop.
