I don't think it is a foregone conclusion that if you have a Mac you will not get a virus. Virus writers concentrate on writing viruses for Windows and PC's because they are more common. However, I hear that lately more and more viruses are showing up that target the Mac.

She did descriptions of photos for me and fixed pagination issues in the book I scanned called Kind Of Blue: The Making Of The Miles Davis Masterpiece by Ashley Kahn and Jimmy Cobb and we collaborated a lot about this book. Anyway, hope she gets this all fixed, it is a matter of actually creating a new password to her email address because it is often recommended to do so I always do...every once in a while. --"Passion is a great motivator.

This came through from a friend of ours not too long ago with almost the exact same email. I think someone is trying to run a scam by using a virus although it might be something else.Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 24, 2012, at 10:46 AM, Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote:Cindy has two of my email addresses and I got that in both. I have seen that same email in my in box before as stand alone spam. I made as if to reply to see what the reply address was and it seems to be a distorted form of her address. It is pretty clear to me that her computer is infected and that she needs to do a complete virus scan at the very least.On 8/24/2012 9:29 AM, misha wrote:If you received a personal email from Cindy Rosenthal saying she is in Spain and has been robbed and is in need of money, this looks like an example of one of the fastest growing internet scams, to me. Since she hasn't even hinted she might be out of town, much less in Spain, this looks like email fraud to me. Probably we will hear from the real Cindy on the list soon.
