Yeah, you would have to be quite gulible to run an executable delivered by e-mail! I've known that since my first IBM 286.

Yeah, I'm very gulible. When the owner of my company sends me an email and asks me to take care of it, I try. It was an attachment. It said invoice attached. When you click on the attachment, it downloads and reboots your computer. Very few of us are as smart as you but, thankfully we are more real.

Edit: After thinking back about it I know what happened. He has told me so many times how I am naive, gullible, a stupid Texan and on and on, my sub concience would not allow me to change it. I knew he had to be correct, he is about everything else, you know.
