Lone Pine Budget Inn - Who is Staying There?
I got hit with a nasty computer virus on Saturday afternoon, which only seems to confirm what I have thought about McAfee.... 
This thing wiped out my backup/restore software, XP restore, any virus scanner, disabled the floppy, the CD-ROM, and detected any time I tried to run a virus scan from any drive(I have multiple ways of attaching portable USB drives and it shut all of them down), or off of the Web. It disabled any Windoze search functions, so I could not find it. They did a very nice job. As soon as I discoverd it by the way, I pulled the plug on my network connection, so as not to infect anyone else.
I have had to rebuild my machine from scratch, which means I have lost my historical Emails. I am in the process of restoring from my latest backup, but that is very time consuming, and will take me weeks to get everything put back together.
Anyway, I need to get a list of those staying at the Budget Inn.
So far I remember:
Rowes
Haltermans
silfox
candicedre
Who else?
