Although the postcard virus is real, is isn't a "BIG VIRUS COMING" (it's already been around in multiple forms for a long time now), it will not "burn the whole hard disc" of your computer, CNN didn't classify it as the "worst virus" ever, and it doesn't arrive in messages bearing a subject line of 'invitation'.

P.S. - Calm down and read the rest of the site.
Good info Hollywood, looks as though you did read the site...I'm calm I just don't send emails out like this..if I get what seems like something others might want to know about I post it...I wish it had been a good joke, I would have posted that..I got nothing today!
Hi Tom,
I guess that Hollywood and I both check these out - "fatback" sent me an email with this info and I went to the Snopes site and read the info - another "what goes around, comes around, again and again..." Anyway when I went to play the trivia game I saw your post and just thought I'd let you know, but you know who beat me to it!!!

I read something, somewhere, sometime, (go figger...lol) that I felt was very good advice & which I took to heart. To avoid being the one who SENDS any sort of virus to your contact list, go into your address book and add a contact named "aaaaaaaaaaa" with no @whatever.com or .net or .org. If you do (Goddess forbid) contract a virus that forwards itself using the contacts list, you won't be forwarding it. When it tries to send to all your contacts, the very first one will give an error message (cuz it's not an email address) and put the kibosh on it. I added it to my contact list years ago, and it has stayed there ever since...just a suggestion yanno :)
