I still use the DOS Prompt on a daily basis - albeit to run a couple of

There's been a spate of DOS attacks (Denial Of Service, not the beloved cled
OS we all knew inside out) across Europe over the last week, t'other day my
ISP tried to block them, ran into problems and ended up with 9,000 customers
disconnected for most of the day, myself included.
Definition: cled - Command Line Editor, as used by Cleddies, the way we used
to get our software to run in the good old (pre-windows) days. These days
we're all WIMPs - Windows, Icons, Mice and Pointers.

warnings this morning?
Off for a walk whilst I get Avast to scan the system.
