It’s been two or three

It’s been two or three months since the Love Bug virus first ravaged its way across the planet…and I haven’t received a single copy of it or its more malicious brethren from my friends or acquaintances. There are a few possible explanations:

- very few of my friends use Outlook

- the people that I know are savvy enough to use Outlook without sending out viruses

- none of my friends have my email address in their Outlook address book

- I have no friends

While that last one sounds promising, I have a hunch the first two explanations account for most of it. By the way, this is not your invitation to send me these viruses…not that it would do any good anyway; I use Eudora.
