On a final note.. I received a warning about a potential e-mail virus from one of my
business associates. I thought I would pass the information on to you. Apparently, on
December 25th, someone may be sending out a deadly virus with the subject line, "Lump
of Coal." My colleague says this was reported on CBS News. Use your own
judgement. I
can tell you right now if I get one, I am not opening it!
