Hmmmmmmm. You're right...I just tried that and sure enough it only brought me back to page one...
I wonder if T-MAN can fix that?

IPlural - remember the Jerusalem B virus, that would keep appending itself to your apps until they took forever to launch? No data damage, but the buggar who wrote that one had a mean sense of humor.

I remember the jerusalem B virus very well. After 30 mins it would move a block of text on screen up by two lines and slow the 8088 it was on to half speed. 4 Mhz in Wordstar was not fun. I never got the one where the letters fell off the screen but I always wanted that one. The other one I wanted to see was the Magistr vius. Makes all your icons run away from the mouse. Sadly I got to see it on my parents PC after it had emailed about 300 emails to who knows where. My Dad thought I was controllig the PC remotely and moving his icons around so I didn't find out it was there until it had been active for an hour or so and I finally saw it as I was passing. Of course AVG is installed on that PC now. I learnt my lesson

IP, I'm using a P3 450 which could upgrade to 750 max if I could find one cheap, otherwise, it's not worth spending the money.
