[ale] Interesting trojan attempt?

[Debrihmi]

Nope, they just moved us from Netscape over to Outlook (so we could conform
company standards)  I've been preaching Linux for well over a year; some of
the IT folks agree but nothing has ever been done..  I've recently made new
Linux car tags for our LUG and just happen to go to the office to rag on the
boss about his choice in OSes, and to try to prod him to a meeting..  It just
so happens that at that very moment one of the IT guys was spazzing out over
the bug in the system, so I took the opportunity to mime behind the guy
"Linux! Lunix!.. MS a no-no!" while pointing to my new tag..  The IT guy did
not find it funny, but the boss and I had a laugh, however, that is far as any
Linux related stuff gets in our big company..  Its frustrating to say the least..
