[ale] OT:Microsoft Money Payout

[Geoffrey]

Thanks for that.  I was literally rolling on the floor laughing.  I love it.

On that same note, I set my mother-in-law up a while back with a linux 
box, replacing her Windows box.  She was having some problems with her 
email, so I was checking it out last night.  She is the perfect example 
of why viri spread and worms propagate.

Looking in her home directory I found 7 downloaded windows executables. 
  Two that were supposed to be IE installs (setup_IE?.exe), neither 
were.  She had 168 email messages waiting to download and a message from 
the provider that she was very close to exceeding her mailbox size limit.

Virtually 80% of the emails were opt in junk.  When I asked her about 
them, she told me she had no idea how she got subscribed.  We set about 
fixing that problem.
