There are a number of so-called "warnings" going around about viruses that can wipe out your hard drive just by you reading a piece of email. 2. Don't panic! There are no such viruses, because it is not technologically possible to develop such a viruses. Reading your email on your AOL account, for instance, doesn't have anything to do with your desktop's hard drive (or any other "working" part of it). It can't happen. 3. Please utilize your Quality training! If you receive any of these warnings, point your web browser to the U.S. Department of Energy's Computer Incident Advisory Capability's Internet Hoaxes website at: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html or IBM's Antivirus Online site, at: http://www.av.ibm.com and get the "real poop" about what you've being told. This is just good investigatory and documentary procedure, one you should all already be familiar with. 4. Remember that just because a message comes to you across the Internet, that doesn't make it true. I realize that some of you may not understand how the Internet (or even your local computer) works, so it's easy to believe that a message that *reads* authoritatively must, therefore, be authoritative. But, be the cynics and rational inquisitors that you are trained to be, and go to someone or some site that you already *KNOW* to be authoritative (or, at least, trustworthy) and check it out first, BEFORE YOU PASS IT ON TO ANYONE ELSE. If you need any help tracking down anything you've been told about "viruses, worms, trojan horses", etc., check out the CIAC and IBM Antivirus Online sites first. If you can't find anything there, contact me and I'll see if I can find some verifiable information for you. Regards.

I think it would certainly be very useful to have, especially in our offices and factories where it has been my observation that creative thinking is often not easily found. :) If you're interested, you can contact NCCI toll-free in the US at 1-800-306-6224. Their world-wide voice and fax number is +1 317 639-6224. The NCCI members' price is $9.95 + $3.75 S&H Non-members pay $14.95 + $3.75 S&H You can also get large-volume pricing. Regards.
