Or those of us who know better than to open an executable (including zip)
file from any but the *most* trusted sources. Those include .exe, .com,
.bat, and .zip. Files containing macros, like .doc and .xls are also treated
with great care, any more. These precautions may help until you get that
(never-quite) up-to-date virus protector. ;-)

Ob. rainbows: Anyone in N. CA with a few extra Desert Gudgeons? I got a pair
a while back, but they were infected with some disease and promptly died.
IDK if it was from my tank or they already had it and moving shock just
brought it out. I was entranced and really hated to lose them. Would really
like to try again.
