If you receive an Email with the subject line "Badtimes" delete it IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT READING it. This is the most dangerous Email virus yet.

Not only will it completely rewrite your hard drive, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It also demagnetises the strips on your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer. It will even leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company.

It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio reception so you hear only static while stuck in traffic. When executed "Badtimes" will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and deodorant with Surface Spray. It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea. If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 7,XP or Vista environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will refill your semi-skimmed milk with whole milk. It has been known to disregard 'Open This End' labels and can make you 'Push' a door that says 'Pull' and vice versa. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few signs.

You have been warned!



:D

Haha, I thought it was funny ;). I still get fake e-mail warnings send from people to warn of a pending virus disaster, perhaps I should respond with that one above!

Video Cassette Recorder?
Or did you have Betamax?:p

Tongue in cheek, my factual, literal friend, tongue in cheek. You're not American are you? ;)

I am aware of what a VCR is, twas just a quip on the fact nobody uses them anymore.

Do they? :eek:

Yup, I still use one occasionally. :blush: Still haven't got round to getting a DVD or hard drive recorder.

Much easier now to use iPlayer and its equivalents.

And, I had one of the early Betamax VCRs many years back. Betamax was much superior to VHS - much better picture and smaller more compact cassettes - but VHS was pushed a lot more and got the upper hand. And that was the end of Betamax.
