Hello Beekeepers
 
Thought I'd pass on the following...
 
>>>>>   "There is a computer virus that is being sent across the
>>>>>   internet.  If you  receive an e-mail with a subject line of
>>>>>   "Irina", DO NOT read the message.   Delete it immediately.
>>>>>   Some miscreant is sending people files under the  name of
>>>>>   "Irinia".  If you receive this file or e-mail, do not download
>>>>>   it.   It has a virus that rewrites your hard drive, obliterating
>>>>>   anything on it.   Please be careful and forward this e-mail to
>>>>>   anyone you care about."
