I really didn't know that so many people were that paranoid about computer
viruses-or viri as we call them here. That's where the problem with
bachelor's degrees rears its ugly head, Rebecca. You get a bunch of people
who have one sitting around getting paid to do nothing and they will
inevitably start making up words. For example, did you know that the plural
of octopus is not octopi, as one would think, it's actually octopodai,
because the word "octopus" is actually from the Greek and not the Latin like
cactus or locus (the location, not the bug)? Exactly <apologetic grin>.

Wendy, I didn't have any difficulty with the Oklahoma Clarinet
symposium's web site last year. The art work and posters were beautiful.
I also don't get computer viruses with webtv.. I haven't missed out on
much except for downloading music, and I am so busy teaching clarinet
lessons and performing that I don't really need a lot. However, it is
not my webtv's fault that th Oklahoma Clarinet Symposium's web site is
not legible this year. ANNIE
