Maxim RIP
B-boy extraordinaire, murdered 2 months ago in Berlin.

Blaster: the vermin
If you, like many windoze users, got the Blaster Worm this week, you may not be able to get back on the net without help. If you're able to figure out how to kill a running process (program) you can turn off blaster.exe, I'm told, then run somethng like Norton or Mcafee to remove the worm files from your computer. THEN you can go to microsoft to get the new security patch at the link above.

emac: The cure
For $800 you can have an emac, though (with the built-in monitor, if you're comparing prices). If you are a student or a teacher, they are even cheaper through the Apple educational discount plan. Plus they have finance plans. Sometimes you can just go to your local college bookstore and order one through them, whether you go to school there or not.
