The greeting is always the same. Actually... The "virus" is a tad clever. Those attachments you're getting are random files from the infected computer, and the subject line of the email is the name of the file it has attached. If I had time I would have created a nice little net-art project from the 269 infected mails I've received so far... ...since macintoshes aren't affected by the virus, those attachments are fair game, and quite easy to explore. So far I've been mailed the following, among many others: A person's grandmother's will Directions to a barbeque A recipe for cake The lyrics to a bjork song A gear list for someone's studio Another gear list for someone's studio An apology to an aunt, I think Instructions for installing a hyperprism vst plugin The will and apology were definitely highlights, of course. So I imagine if you a) have a mac and b) have some free time, you could get creative with the assets. On the other hand, there's a bit of moral implication of invading someone else's privacy. -- WEB: http://code404.com <------> ICQ: 26911072 <------> AIM: OctaveCat -- Kulit1001 (3:11 PM): I'm gonna put you in a hurt locker!
