Hope you didn't catch it from me.

bcfan claims that once I started having computer issues, she and her fiends experienced them. So it's all my fault.

On a more light-hearted note, I was able to pinpoint why my boss's iMac was doing weird screen jiggles and monitor glitches:

Her "handyman" had, in an attempt to conceal electronic spaghetti, used NAILS to keep her cords in place. One especially large and nasty nail had pinched the POWER CABLE in back of the desk, where we couldn't see it. The nail was apparently acting as a rogue antenna, receiving variances in humidity, electrostatic charges, and beams from Reticulans as it intruded upon the cord's shielding.

There was much cussing and handyman-trashing as her husband and I replaced the power cord and ripped out paneling to get to the other "concealed" cables, but I'm happy to report that her iMac is happy and all her cords are accessible and labeled. :)

BTW, http://prillalar.com works fine on this system (my other boss's Windoze XP/Firefox/DSL) so maybe it's just your email server that's on crack.
