I probably would have been a lot more vigilant had it been outside the house - weird, but one of those psychological quirks that always lead fallible humankind astray.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152219034171337111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984534323050077645.post-19133752616294926902009-11-11T09:47:58.966-08:002009-11-11T09:47:58.966-08:00Where was the machine that infected your thumb dri...Where was the machine that infected your thumb drive?
