IMPORTANT!!!!! READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver of the Budweiser Frogs. If you download it, you will lose everything! Your hard drive will crash and someone from the Internet will get your screen name and password! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! It just went into circulation yesterday. Please distribute this message.

1) Unless it decided to remove itself from the 4 screws holding it secure, and for the 4 or however many discs inside the hard drive decide to rip apart and crash against the case its physical impossibility.


2) WTF?

Who actually belives this shite? If its an e-mail with lots of nice images and such, its most probably a phishing scam, with some code in the background of the mail to get your e-mail adress and send it back to the orginal source.

If do get the above, do not send it to anyone.

Many people do believe these things are true. They are mainly people who are not as computer 'savy' as us. My Dad is one for a start 

I have a pet hate for these e-mail chains, if someone stopped you in Tesco, and said there is a new virus out. SwanFlu, it causes you to go green and then get your credit card number. Would you belive them? No!

So don't belive all these stupid e-mails, like that post office guy who got conned for £130,000 from some bloke in Africa pretending to be a pregant women. If your that stupid you deserve it!

There was once a home computer that could be set on fire by software.  I think the o/s had control over the vdu scans or something and you could fry some transistors (I don't think it was valves! ) if you 'poked' the wrong address.

Mis-use of computer terminology and poor English Language skills often expose scam emails.  Trouble is, you need to know English Language to recognise it.

I had a client who used to refer to 'booting WordPerfect' when he meant 'running' or 'executing' or 'starting' even.

Hard disk drives do have crashes but they are not programmable.  It's when a foreign body (yeah, yeah!) gets between a head and the platter.  Likened by some to a jumbo jet meeting a skyscraper.  But I haven't heard that analogy for, oh, about 8 years now.
