This is called 'malware' Bill - and you should never click on a link unless you're absolutely sure what it does!! You should be running some kind of protection against this sort of thing - see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware>

As someone who runs about two dozen mailing lists, I feel it's worth 
pointing out that on about half of them we've had to ban MS Windows 
clients - primarily Outlook - altogether, and in some cases restrict 
certain users to webmail-only.

I'm sure no-one here is quite so hopelessly inept as the people on those 
lists.

RIGHT-O!!! I'm with you there. Problem is, it came from a close relative that has never sent any nefarious things ever. that is why I thought it was OK. I assume thet link you gave me is to be installed and will find them before openeng?

I would hope that the list owner steps in and moderates this discussion. It is both off topic and is very self-serving. If you guys want to bash windows (or anything else), please go somewhere else.

This used to be a nice community, then there is one instance of spam, and a few of you seize on the opportunity to bash windows.

I think this topic is really old and worn out. Everything bad about Windows has been well know for ages. There are only variations on a theme. 

It might be interesting to see how much the windows bashers have contributed to the benefit of Casio CZ/VZ/FZ users over the years.

If you don't have something nice to say, please take it somewhere else.

Just my opinion--nothing more, nothing less.

BTW, if your mailing lists are so full of hopelessly inept people, why don't you just stop doing the mailing lists and stop complaining about the users on the lists in a forum devoted to Casio synths?

Well, I've repaired a few dozen CZs, and I've got a GUI patch editor 
that might actually run on PCs built this century in the pipeline.  It's 
written in Python so there's a very real chance that someone with the 
time and enthusiasm can get it working in Windows, even (I don't run 
Windows here and I don't know anyone that does, so I can't test it).

Because the vast majority of the users know not to click on dodgy links, 
know not to run Outlook Express in Windows ME, know not to forward every 
damn "ZOMG CLICK ON THIS IT'S AMAZING! INTERNET JESUS WEEPS REAL TEARS!" 
email to world+dog and most of the time they contain useful, helpful 
discussions.

I chose my reply to avoid (my usual??) anti-m$ stuff, Gordon - but I participate in dozens of lists on a variety of levels, and know exactly where you're coming from.

I get a lot as digests, so my favourite peeve with lists is folks who top-post without thinking:P New members (on any list) should spend the first month in digest mode??

But seriously, Bill, there's a lot of good free stuff to help, try cnet/download.com?? The message probably didn't actually come from your friend, just spoofed his address??

i use python great program for using linux based programs on windows

there are great synth utilities made with python

as long as its a pyrthon script it should work in any os

we have a great dx convertor made with python and martin who makes it makes it with linux 

and it works great with python for windows

just upload it and us window users can test it in python for windows

as for people clicking on links thats just stupid if its an url dont touch it just delete and let the mods know to delete post and ban the writer of the post simple

im on loads of forums as is gordon and only a few of these things get through
