EMERGENCY ALERT- WORM ATTACK
Most Windows Computers are vulnerable. I strongly recommend downloading and installing patches on all Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Server computers as soon as possible.
This first link will give you Microsoft's page including links for downloads.

More continuing reminders...
1) Back up your data!
2) If your hard drive is 3 years or older, think about replacing it. New ones are pretty inexpensive and include "cloning" software. Most hard drives fail within the 3-5 year window.
3) Clean and dust. Carefully vacuum the vents and drives, even if you don't feel comfortable opening the case.
4) Use antistatic spray or a mixture of fabric softener and water in a spray bottle. Dry air with static electricity can break keyboards and occasionally more expensive items.
That's it for this newsletter...
