And all the media can do is print the scare stories.  I'm sure anyone in this
group could write out a nice set of "safe computing" rules.  It would be nice
if the papers (or even a few more company network administrators) would run that
one, but there's not a hope in hell.  

There's something else that's puzzling me about this whole thing: we read that
the main problem is company intranets and business e-mails.

Now, maybe I lead a sheltered life, maybe I'm unpopular or something, but
somehow I think if I received an e-mail from _any_ of my normal business
contacts headed "I love you" I'd think it was, well, a bit weird.
