INTERNET VIRUS WARNING
Dick Johnson writes: "I have been out of commission for
ten days. My computer got hit with a virus. Not "red worm",
but one my Internet Server, SNET, called "Sir Gam.gen W32."
You cannot imagine how it feels not to be on the internet. I
cannot do research, I cannot check facts, I cannot contact
numismatic friends. I lost my hard drive and all my mail files,
and address book. And a number of recent, unanswered
emails (I answer all inquiries sent to Medallic Art Co on past
medals).
Fortunately all my manuscript files for two books are on
another computer (not connected to the internet -- for good
reason!). These are backed up and I have off-site storage
as well. Perhaps these would be good tips for E-Sylum
readers and fellow authors."
