For those of us who rarely navigate away from the DVD forums important news out of CNN this morning..

Computer virus slated to arm already infected PC's during the month of March and activate those zombies to (i.e.) wipe out your  movie data base ...   
In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Just download the appropriate hotfix for your OS from this page, and you should be safe.

So if I read the Microsoft bulletin correctly this problem has been resolved in the service packs for Vista-SP1 and Win XP-SP3?

No, actually this update replaces an update (MS06-040) which was available for XP SP2, 2003 SP1.

You still need to apply this update, but for the OS'es with the older service packs, when you install this update, you no longer need MS06-040, since it is also included in this one.

Hi Chris,

Okey dokey, it looks like the auto update for my Vista PC picked up this hotfix last year, but I'll check Madam & Mademoiselles' XP PCs later.

Thanks for the heads up  and thanks for the update to En Saga I Belgia (and if you watch the crowd scenes at the end of the concert, look out for the guy in the white T shirt about 4-5 metres out from centre stage...the three blobs behind and either side of him are the Mole ladies.... . Yes, really!!     )

Cheers

Chris

You're welcome. Haven't really had the time to check out the En Saga set yet. Nice to know the mole ladies made it on the dvd 

Skipped last years Metal Female Voices Fest, but this year, I might go again.

Cheers

Perhaps I should contibute them in the cast list as

Madam Mole/ /                "person in audience" (uncredited)
Mademoiselle Mole #1/ /    "person in audience" (uncredited)
Mademoiselle Mole #2/ /    "person in audience" (uncredited)

with the appropriate documentation and time-stamp, naturally

Note: you need to have text between the [a ...] and tags (like the "and" here).
