I meant non-Audio... sorry.
Anyway... it's interesting to see that dd will back up my
VMS CD's.
Meanwhile anyone here want to see some restrictions on MS software on
critical government or "secure" systems.
Geez... this "Love Bug" virus has hit AT&T and Lucent and a bunch
of US government sites.
Luckily, my wife was using Elm on Unix dialed in from home instead of
Outlook or Exchange at work so she deleted the 150 messages at noon and
another 150 last night.
Exchange and Outlook (and the MS Exchange server and Visual Basic) have really
revolutionized mail handling into a major virus breeding ground.
All because it's too hard to use FTP or the web to push Powerpoint
presentations around -- they mail 44mb files as attachments. UGH.
