Would these people please wake up and smell the roses.  The original
message was sent on APRIL FIRST (hint, hint; solution to puzzle below
for those not cognizant of this strange piece of English culture).  You
are being laughed at.  The "oh gosh, people are getting killed by out
of control programs" messages are getting a bit tiresome.  I expect to
see it written up in the National Enquirer (or some equally reputable
shock news journal) next time I go through the supermarket check-out:
"Rampant Computer Virus Killing Patients"


Solution: APRIL FIRST = APRIL FOOLS DAY
