I've recently reread *Fire In The Valley, Ed. 1,2 &3.* They are the
seminal, authoritative & comprehensive sources for the history of the
microcomputer. We in the classic computer community need to know the
history of our hobby to keep it vital and relevant to today's society. More
than ever we need to know how microcomputers came about that may be helpful
in understanding the role microcomputers play in our lives now.
Happy computing all.

Which links? You mean the "virus-free" thing at the bottom? That's just
.signature spam. I don't know why people put that in, especially since a declaration
in a piece of mail that it's "virus-free" isn't worth the electrons
it's written on.

When people install AVG anti-virus, it alters their signature to insert an
ad for itself. WITHOUT their authorization, or, usually, awareness. THAT
may not be as dangerous, but it's still malware.

Clearly that's a sufficient reason to consider that software to be malware and never
use it for any purpose. But in addition, such a message in the signature is clearly
meaningless because it could just as easily be inserted there by a virus as by an
anti-virus.

The links are to his anti virus pages, or email client filtered thru
there.? Noting to see here, move along.
Seriously, you need to dig out the link, trim all the crap after the
ampersand, so that we don't inherit a bunch of tracking cookie crumbs,
test it and forward.
Thanks, would love to read anything you share.
thanks
