No, I'm very sorry to say I can't. And I can't even get to the bulgaria
page, it's blank for me now, possibly due to my browser, maybe because
it's moved, I really don't know. This morning I did get to the new page
that was advertized on usenet, fx-soft or something like that. All I seemed
to get on my hard drive from there at this time was mostly a hodge-podge of
gif and jpg files that all seem to be part of the makup of the page. But I
am not well-versed in this stuff...and I could easily have overlooked something.
I apologize if I unduly upset or scared anyone. It could be that file was
totally innocuous. But just remember who you are dealing with: crackers,
hackers, pirates. And they seem to change things pretty regularly.
And please don't send me any more private mail about this, I really can't
help you, really wish I could. I almost regret I ever brought it up though.
Maybe some of the more computer-savy people on the list could lend some
expert advice about the possible dangers of these sites, or maybe they just
don't want to bother with it. I certainly wouldn't blame them. It's a can
of worms.
