Just dragged out some ancient backups...

[GTP]

My Daughter asked for some pics of her Mum, (my ((late)) first Wife) taken in about 1998-99?
So I dragged out some old backups on 80GB HDD's.
Emsisoft kicked in and told me there were several "nasties" lurking in the data!
Some of the virus names bring back some memories....
