    *laughs* That's true. But I received no stern emails from my boss or IT, so I'm hopeful.

    I was looking at legit sites, or at least I thought I was. So frustrating and confusing.

    Maybe I'll get a prize for finding a hole in the firewall.

    I hate people that make spyware & viruses.

    It sounds like somthing is eating your computers resources. Must be a program with a forkbomb in it. A forkbomb is a program that executes a ton of processes until it killes the computer. Or it could be a failing power supply. It might not have been you that killed it. How old was the computer? Heh, IT is going to be po'ed if what i say is right and they never thought of it.

    You sure you want the *prize* ???


    I'd sorta hate to think just what "prize" the combination of a PO'd IT Guy
    and your Boss might come up with.

    Whenever I *screwed up* at work - I was always thankful when the Boss would
    just say "Stuff Happens" and that would be the end of it.
    But if he said "Send me a memo about that ..." - ya just KNEW that HIS Boss
    had found ALL about your latest sin!

    And to top it off ... the IT Guy will never be able to keep his mouth shut!
    Those Folks ALWAYS need a good "Guess what Kimmy did" Tail to tell at
    the morning Geek Crew tea break.

    You'll be Famous by Friday!

    We have a saying here at work.... PICNIC....

    "Problem in chair, not in computer"

    So glad yours was the other way around!!!!!!! Good luck with everything. Hope your prize is a nice one. Maybe a day off with pay!?!?!
