Idk if posting this in Computer Corral or General Chat. If it's in the wrong forum, please move it.

A quite interesting question. Do you believe in the rumors that "a global virus will spread through Internet on Friday the 13th"? Has your computer been infected on a Friday the 13th? Are you gonna connect to internet on this friday?

Well, someone could release a new virus in that day, but I think that's a bunch of crap actually.

Of course I'll come online :scary:

Maybe I'll go on a school computer with extreme filtering to be safe. If they get a virus, I won't log on on mine. But no, I don't believe in this.

I don't know. It seems like it might be a good idea to play it safe and stay off the internet on Friday, but I'll probably be on anyway. Maybe I'll just use my sister's computer which is probably full of viruses anyway since she has no concept of net safety.

I get on the internetz and blame Obama if I get infected, and then sue him and make McCain president. :D But really, I don't believe in the Friday the 13th crap. There have been many Global Viruses. The infamous I love you, Code Red, etc. This one won't happen.

Obama uses a Mac, he has the 2.93GHz MacBook Pro, 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM, it's very expensive.

He got it for free, by the way

I'll be online on Friday the 13th. Clicking on black lolcats, walking into musical ladders on YouTube and stepping on cracks is muh favorite thing to do. :]

@John: He got it...for..FREE?! Man, I just found out the purpose of my life; become president. =DD

I don't really believe this hookus bookus you speak of, though. So...uhh..YAY ME! I'll just blame it on the man.
