	Well, just talked to a Chris someone or another from the ISP that
runs Frys.com. He confirmed that that was a honey pot, with a lot of files
that would overwrite other critical files one Windows, Mac, AND Unix
systems. He mentioned a "file bomb," that would over write
/etc/password. (*rolls eyes,* like any one would actully run an unknown
file as root?) But he still wanted help tracking down another domain that
apparently had been trying to hack into the site. And that is apparently
in Oregon. Unluckily for him, I don't have any of those emails any more
so... SOL.

	Rick
