# zoiks!
woosome!

THREADJACK: I got the following email with a zip fil attached. It may be genuine as I sell greetings cards but I want to know if anyone else has got it first:

Hello!
My name is Kristina Iovcheva. I'm sending you some my drawings. If you like them and you are interested, please let me know.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!!!
The zip is called pictures1

# do you sell other peoples art, unsolicited?
if not, I'd hit delete on the safe side.

# write her back with your concerns
and see what she has to say before you open it

see if she can maybe send you a sample as just a jpg or something

dunno.
it should be safe to unzip, as long as you dont open any of the unzipped files, unless any are self executable

i think

i wouldnt listen to me if i was you, i obviously have no idea what i'm on about
