Subject: A worm, AOL, and Country Western Balloons
To: balloon@balloonhq.com

Dear friends,

About a week ago, I asked a couple of questions to the balloon list about AOL 
and country western balloons.

Unfortunately, my computer was infected by a worm that targeted my AOL.  For 
those of you who don't own Antivirus software, go out and get some today.

This means I lost all of the valuable information I got on Cowboy/Country 
Western Balloons.  I hate to do this, but if anyone would like to resend that 
information, I would be eternally grateful.

The thing I hate about this whole situation the most is that I had some great 
e-mails from some wonderful people I met at T-Jam.  I really wanted to reply 
to all of your e-mails and thank you personally.  Unfortunately, that is not 
possible.

For those of you having problems with your AOL 6.0, you might want to think 
about doing what I've done.  I simply switched back to AOL 5.0.  It's mail 
features are much better than 6.0, anyway.

Well, gang.  As always, thanks for you help.  As for me, I fixed all I can 
with my computer problem.  So for now, I'm going to still chase that neon 
rainbow and live that honkey tonk dream.

Yours truly,
