new photos from my party

By anders pearson 28 Jan 2002

our office has been overrun with the MyParty email worm. as i sit at my linux box looking at all the ascii garbage that is harmless in kmail but Outlook inexplicably treats as executable code, i’m left with the same questions that i ask every time one of these stupid things comes out:

<p>1) why do people still use Outlook?</p>

<p>2) why do people on windows/mac not at least use anti-virus software that is updated daily?</p>

<p>3) why doesn&#8217;t microsoft fix Outlook already?</p>

<p>after watching this happen over and over again (and getting countless Word documents that should have been plain-text emails), my boss and i are both strong advocates of banning Outlook in the office. we don&#8217;t think we can do it though because too many people are attached to the stupid thing.</p>
