The newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word packet is mis-spelled on this line. It will say that they were un-able to deliver a package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out the invoice copy attached. DON'T TRY TO PRINT THIS. IT LAUNCHES THE VIRUS! Pass this warning on to all your PC operators at work and home. This virus has caused Millions of dollars in damage in the past few days.

I received that email yesterday and deleted it out since I haven't ordered anything and if someone sent me something they would let me know.

47 yr old mother of 2 girls and 2 granddaughter's. Plus 4 cats. Born and raised in Texas. Love good ol long hair rock and roll. I do have a special place in my heart for Motown. I like MMA almost as much as I do WWE and vanilla in my coffee. I'm also a Highlander and Star Trek freak. I love drag racing and dirt track racing. Old time BBS'er: FIDOnet, HOGnet, Snooknet, etc. I remember and used 300 baud modems. On the net since early '94. Love web design & doing my own graphics. First computer was a Trash80 or that Commodore 64. Still have my QBasic books. I tend to dream in code. Did tech support. Beta tester. Have kept 6 (one of the first users of LiveJournal) other blogs for sometime, unless you count BBS's and then it goes waaaayyy back.
