Letter to Dvvid
I done a b-a-a-a-ad thing to my 'puter at home. The other night, Mary was reminiscing about seeing Aerosmith open for Mott the Hoople at the Orpheum in Boston in 1973. Wellsir, I donned my hip-boots and camo-gear and went out a-huntin' in the wilds of the internet to see if I could scare up a video or even an MP3 of the gig. Somewhere along the line, I musta stepped in some bear sign, because now my screen always looks like-a this. I did a full McAfee scan after the event, (2 files quarantined & 4 removed) but it's still showing that warning & nothing I do seems to make it go away. So I'm thinking that maybe I should bring it to my guy in Chinatown this weekend and have him re-install my OS (Windows XP). That should take care of it, right? RIGHT?
