Don't like to read about this when I've just received 93 rather weird repeat emails from one contact!

I know we're not a bank or government agency which might be attacked for underhand reasons, but I won't be clicking on any of these emails until I hear it is safe to do so - just in case our son's father-in-law's computer has been affected by some mass-mailing virus. (Check this pic and let me know what you think!)

I don't know what I'd do without my computer, but sometimes this 'harmless'' box of tricks really scares me!

Hmm, does seem a bit strange, he's certainly got a problem with his computer or mailing program, at least when it's someone you know, you can ask them if they actually meant to send an Email.

Mike solved the mystery. John had tried to email two photos when his computer 'had suggested' they were a bit large, so asked if he wanted to break them up into several emails. He had clicked 'Yes' - with the result that I received 93 emails, each with a fraction of a photo!

Mike laughed as he had never heard of anything like that either. Glen smiled smugly, feeling quite computer literate in comparison with John!

BTW, this is Glen's new computer and set up - his 65th birthday present to create his music. (Guitars, etc. not shown)

That's good, you'll have to tell him to download pixresizer.


Glen's kit looks good, just awaiting the delivery of my new (second hand) laptop, my old one is way too slow and only has a 20GB drive.
