Greenberg    A number of myths have surfaced about the threat of computer "viruses".    There are myths about how widespread they are, how dangerous they are, and    even myths about what a computer virus really is.  We'd like the facts to    be known.    The first thing to learn is that a virus is a malicious programming tech-    nique in the realm of "Trojan horses."  All viruses are Trojan horses, but    few Trojan horses can be called a virus.    That having been said, it's time to go over the terminology we use when we    lecture:       BBS           Bulletin Board System.  If you have a modem, you can call                     a BBS and leave message

ZECHARIAH 1:1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, ZECHARIAH 1:2 The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers. ZECHARIAH 1:3 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. ZECHARIAH 1:4 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and {from} your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the Lord. ZECHARIAH 1:5 Your fathers, where {are} they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? ZECHARIAH 1:6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doi

Saga of the Hayes Ultra vs NOISE .......... Part 1 12-25-91 Well, I received an Ultra for Christmas.  Gee, can't wait to try it. Hmmm, it didn't work.  I tried and tried, but it only worked once or twice. 01-02-91    to 07-17-91 Sent it back to Hayes several times and they found nothing wrong. In April, the Ultra started working from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.  A friend brought his USR Dual-standard to my house.                     IT WORKED ALL THE TIME ! In late May, the Ultra started working from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.  I called the phone company and they came by to check.  Seems that I have a bad case of "A.C. Hum" on the lines.  They will try to correct it. OK, that is the problem, but the USR worked!  I called Hayes again and suggested they come to my house since I live about 15 minutes away from their Corp. office.  I told them that they needed to check their modem in the REAL world.  NO LUCK!  "Oh, you have line noise"!
