Warning AOL***** virus.
I borrowed this from Ray Owens' Jokeaday list.
Pay attention:
VIRUS WARNING!!!
It has been brought to my attention that there's an insidious new computer virus which has already affected close to 30 million computers.
Even though I'm running the latest McAfee and Norton viri scans, neither have picked up this virus as it's a mutating virus which isn't set to go off until Friday, June 8, 2001.
As many viri are, this one is transmitted by email. I'm required by law to contact everyone that has received email from me in the last six months and warn them about this virus.
TO REMOVE THIS VIRUS BEFORE IT BECOMES EFFECTIVE:
** Click your start button.
** Click on "Find".
** Click on Files / Folders.
** Change the "look in" input box to "My Computer".
** The named input file should have: AOL*****
Once the find engine has located the file, highlight it and press the delete button.
Deleting this file will fix a damaged 30 megabyte area of your hard drive and restore it to full functionality.
Warning: Keeping This File On The System After June 8 Will Cost You $2.90 More Per Month!
Failure To Remove This File Will Keep Your "upper Memory Management" Module Of Your Intelligence Quotient (Iq Over 85) Blocked. Deleting Aol***** Will Free Your Iq To Go Above 85!!!
Deleting This File Will Allow You To Spell Correctly And Use The English Language Properly.
Badly Infected Systems (I.e., Systems That Have Destroyed Your Ability To Follow The Simple Instructions Above) Can Have The Virus Removed By Telephone. Call 1-888-265-8008 And Tell The Operator To Cancel The Virus. The Operator Will Deactivate The Virus From Their End.
Technical Note: You **must** Explain To The Operator You're Attempting To Deactivate The Aol***** Virus. The Technical Support Office You're Talking To Is Extremely Professionally Embarrassed By Unleashing This Virus On The World And Will Delay Deactivating It. For Legal Reasons, They May Even *deny* The Existence Of The Aol***** Virus. Don't Fall For Their Story!
Oh man I know I'm gonna pay for this one.

Warning AOL***** virus.
Thanks dude! You are so right!
Not only did removing that virus improve my spelling and vocabulary but I found out a whole lot of other things too!
I found out who all those people are that have been walking around in my house... I have a family! I just found out that we have a three month old baby and that my oldest daughter has braces! And when did we get a dog anyway? I just found out that the Mrs. traded in my pickup for a mini-van 6 months ago!
Sorry, have to go now. Other people are waiting in line to use the computer. I'm using the PC at the public library because for some reason, my home computer doesn't work right anymore...

Actually it is not just 9.0 that sucks, it is all of AOL that sucks!
