YOU ARE CORRECT IT IS A HOAX. THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO ME I THINK IS
RELIABLE BUT HE WAS HOAXED ALSO. I HAVE ANOTHER COMPUTER IN MY HOUSE AND I
COPIED THE FILE FROM THE OLD COMPUTER ONTO A FLOPPY DISK AND PUT IT BACK
ONTO MY PRESENT COMPUTER. I CHECKED AND THE FILE DATE IS THE SAME. I AM
SORRY I REACTED TO THIS MESSAGE. IF I CAUSED ANYONE ANY PROBLEMS I AM
SORRY. AND I AM WILLING TO HELP YOU FIX YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WRITE TO ME OFF
LINE. BUT MY GUESS IS TO FIND ANOTHER COMPUTER AND GET THE FILE OFF THAT
COMPUTER USING A FLOPPY LIKE I DID.
