RE: List you have a greeting card from .



I think the instructions are telling you to walk to each person's house and
tell them to delete _their_ files... sort of an ambulatory chain letter.

I first saw that as the Amish virus:

Amish Virus
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have just received the Amish virus. Because we don't have any computers,
or programming experience, this virus works on the honor system. Please
delete all the files from your hard drive and manually forward this virus to
everyone on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation.

(I figure there's a bug in the virus, though- wouldn't you want to forward
the virus and THEN delete all your files? Maybe that's limited its
effectiveness.)
