Hi everyone,
I have a Mac computer and last weekend the hard disk crashed. Still trying
to figure out why. Maybe a virus, but I do have virus protection software.
Anyway, I have lost all my addresses, bookmarks and a whole lot of other
things. During the same time, I have had 2 car crashes - so John, sorry I
haven't gotten back to you about the decals, but I will take care of it
ASAP - It has just been a bad week. I am just starting to get things back
in order.
On a more positive note, my Eldo's battery is charged, I performed cosmetic
surgery on the new/old seat I got from Ian (so no more black tape holding
my seat together) and I will touring local car repair shops, so will be
able to inquire about repainting my tank....
Regards,
Elisabeth

I got an e-mail at my work address from a Guzzi rider in Virginia telling me that my system was infected and it sent him a virus. Both he and I have top-notch virus protection systems. His name was vaguely familiar so I tracked him down and telephoned. The message I ostensibly sent was unfamiliar. The message ostensibly came from my 'work' address. Since both of us are well protected, we surmise that someone else's system (maybe even Topica?) sent out the infected message and somehow substituted my address as the sender (he also received another similar from another Guzzi writer). My work address is registered with Topica, but I do NOT use it for regular Guzzi mail. I limit myself to this personal AOL account for Guzzi mail and have only used the Topica link on rare occasion when there was some account screwup at AOL. The only other person I know that has both of my addresses is Tim Crump. So, someone out there is unknowingly propagating a virus (not necessarily Tim BTW). No idea how to trace it. Glad I have protection software. Also glad that Guzzi people recognize each others REAL names and have the courtesy to track each other down.
