I feel the same, BUT, remember that any attachment enroute is subject
to modification. Take it, but again, with all deference to everyone,
please scan any .exe or .com before you run it. It took me about 10
days to get rid of a nasty one I got from the ARRL home page. After all,
it only take a second or two, and there are plenty of current anti-
virus programs available for free. BUT, scan it first!
