Has everyone seen this computer virus?
It arrives by regular mail.
Here is what the letter inside says.
==============================
AMISH VIRUS::

You have just received the Amish Virus.
Since we do not have electricity nor computers,
you are on the honor system.
Please delete all of your files.

Thank thee.
================================


Has this been around forever ?
Or is it a fairly new joke ?

1. Yeah, but still funny.
You want to hear a great one? There was an e-mail going around warning people about a virus that was already embedded in their computers. They were told to search for the file and delete it.

Problem is that the file had such a cryptic name that people didn't know that they were actually deleting crucial systems files by mistake!!!!
