Subject: [Leica] Fwd: EMAIL VIRUS
From: Norman_Milks@pribilofs.k12.ak.us (Norman Milks)

Attention LUGgers...The following message was just forwarded to our staff by
Dan Rose, the Financial Officer of the school district in which I teach.  BTW,
Dan is not a prankster, this is genuine concern.  I realize it's a bit off
topic,  but it occurred to me that it might throw a helluva wrench in the LUG
if our members (or their tools) were to become infected.  
Norman Milks...over 'n out. [:-)
