abstract
Heard the one about the little old lady who was terrified to go into a computer shop in case she caught a dangerous virus?

note
[Quote: "The bulk e-mailer is an information virus that uses the human mind as a host for one part of its life cycle and the computer for the other. The computer does the rapid replicating, while the human provides the resources and adds variation to stir new interest each time. This is a nasty meme, or, to borrow from Richard Dawkins, it becomes a ``virus of the mind''."]
