Vince, Did you send the following message to me? My Macintosh user
group seems to think that it may not be legitimate. In fact, one
member said that she had received a similar message, although she uses
a different ISP. I also have virus protection through a subscription
to .Mac, an Apple utilities service, so I think I would be safe in any
case. Thank you. -- Smith
