OT: new type of e-mail SPAM?
« Reply #15 on: January 28, 2004, 07:44:42 AM »
Haven't seen this myself, and didn't take time to digest it fully. But, it seems most decidedly to be right up our alley here. It is a computing issue. Why the "OT"? Of course, "O" can stand for "off" or "on". Not a very precise abbreviaion, is it?  tongue.gif
Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Was coming back to note that diana was right about this being part of the 'MyDoom' virus, I re-read more of the message and found the tell tale text. But tacit beat me to it!

I read a very heated discussion on a list digest recently about the use/miss use of this term and was probably still reeling from the shock of some of the comments! WOW.gif Anyway, I will endeavor to use it with all due respect and correctness in the near future. More distant future is a little harder as I am having trouble remembering things for more than a few seconds. Now, what was the question, again! harhar.gif

apparently, this new imac's keyboard isn't any better than the old one! doh.gif  eek2.gif
