================================================ Subject: Re: virus alert bad bad .. Plus links to articles From: "Creed - 7M3 - Live" To: Date: Tue 15 May 2001 22:31:57 -0400 ================================================ I thought that Microsoft was a viral operating system. It seems that all sites that I visit that are created by MS Java crash my browser.Something about trying to write illegally to memory stacks. Anyway, I just wanted to pass on this link about 7M3 which has some mention of Creed in Comparison to the slack they got for sounding in the neighborhood of Grundge. (PJ) http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/music/orl-ent-7m3051201.story and this article about one of their latest shows. (From the band's point of view). I wish Creed would do something like fan updates, which would give us thier viewpoint. Here is News from the band http://www.7m3.com/html/nfb-2.htm About any viruses destroying the sector zero of your hard drive. I don't know about that happening. Being that it is a magnetic device. I don't know if it is even possible. It seems that you could reformat it. Even if you had to do a low level format on the disk. But I will delete any mail that comes with those titles to be safe though. thanks for the warning about the possibility though. Also, I bought the soundtrack to The Mummy returns. It is all classical music. except for the track by Live. But it is fairly decent classical music though.
