This is the quote that got me busting up laughing:

[``It crashed all the computers,'' said Daphne Ghesquiere, a Dow Jones
spokeswoman in Hong Kong. ``You get the message and the topic says ILOVEYOU,
and I was among the stupid ones to open it. I got about five at one time and
I was suspicious, but one was from Dow Jones Newswires, so I opened it.'']

If I got a letter from Dow Jones saying "I love you", I'd be really suspicious...

I haven't gotten any here, yet. Haven't checked my home mail. My husband called this morning, though, and said they got hit at Trane. For those that don't know, that's a _huge_ company. Lots of emails, lots of fun.
