Lydia, at the same time your warning arrived, I received the "HA HA HA SNOW WHITE" one. It has now been sent to me three times. But the one that fools everyone every time is, "I Love You". These guys had a field Valentine's day. Luckily for Jay no-one loves him so he knew it was a wrong address. But for those who don't take the above emails seriously, it can be a major problem - ask me, I've been there BIG TIME.

One cold winter's morning of the year 1997, yours truly woke up bright and chirpy, ready and very steady to print out the master copy of DanceInfo SA (54 pages) to be neatly and immediately sent to the printers. I switched on my PC and the screen didn't only stay black, it stayed dark black, and the more I looked at it the darker the black became. But being the cucumber cool character I am, I slow waltzed my way back to the tub and drank my bath water (or was it someone else's), took a deep breath and bellowed from the bottom up into the heavens above. Now why am I telling you this story? it's boring, and no-one's listening anyway. Oh yes, I remember, apart from the fact that we had to retype the 54 pages, it wiped all the previous copies of DISA, all the hundreds of graphics (or was it thousands), my 300-page dictionary which took yeeeeaars to compile, all my other mega, mega bytes of info, all my system applications programmes in one quick click. And you know Lydia, just when I thought I was perfect, I realised I didn't backup. 1
