Dear 198.89.32.82

I hate you. I hate you for each of the thirty Sobig.F worms you have sent me today. I hate your Details, your Movies, and your Thank You's. I regret the day my email address somehow found its way onto your disease-ridden GATEWAY620.

I got about 60 sent to me today. Luckily our mail server removes viruses before they make it to us.

Whee! Even I got a few copies of this one. Also, my internet was down for a while due to "virus activity". I may be new to having a microsoft computer, but when I'm not cursing at it for it's inability to function like OS X, I'm updating it's OS and symantic software! (Look at me! I'm special!)
