There's no substitute for common sense, but common sense these days includes running a good virus-checker as well as not opening strange attachments. (Even attachments which you requested and expected should be checked before opening, in case something managed to sneak in unbeknownst to the sender.) >Also probably very good advice, but how many people can be bothered? Or >have the technical know-how? It doesn't take any more technical know-how to install, say, Eudora than any other piece of software. We're talking about common consumer-oriented programs here, not esoteric techie-stuff. And while other programs aren't necessarily going to be completely free of security holes themselves, they're less likely to be targeted and will almost certainly be safer than MS Outlook, which has a very poor record in that department. If people can't "be bothered", well, that's their own lookout. Of course, some people are using computers at work or school and don't have any say in what email program is used, or whether virus-checking is properly implemented. They're in a tough position, especially with something like the KakWorm, which can evidently run automatically on Outlook when the message is viewed (*without* the user opening an attachment) if the program settings are right and the patch hasn't been installed. It's important to know your software; look at all those "options" and "preferences", find out what they mean (use your online help or printed documentation), and make sure your settings provide you with as much safety as possible. And if you have reason to believe a worm or virus might have been activated on the machine you're using, report it to your system administrator ASAP. - Lisa -- _____________________________________________________________ Lisa Williams: lcw@dallas.net or lwilliams@raytheon.com Lisa's Video Frame Capture Library: http://lcw.simplenet.com/ From Eroica With Love: http://eroicafans.org/ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 17:04:26 -0400 From: "Dana Shilling" To: Subject: Re: [B7L] Selected episodes (Vericon) Message-ID: <00bf01c021b5$1240aec0$77ae4e0c@dshilling> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ----- Original Message ----- From: David A McIntee To: Beanish ; Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2000 3:18 PM Subject: Re: [B7L] Selected episodes (Vericon) > ---------- > > From: Beanish > > To: blakes7@lysator.liu.se > > So, I've been asked to help schedule a con viewing room. > > > > So, what 2 - 4 episodes would you show to a newbie, not necessarily > > to hook them or introduce them to the series, but to give them a bit of > > Blake's 7 flavor in this context I'd stick with the first two seasons, since it's hard to explain to newbies why half the show doesn't have Blake in it, and I'd use Space Fall, Pressure Point, and Star One. -(Y) ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 10:39:53 +0100 (BST) From: Judith Proctor To: Freedom City Cc: Lysator List Subject: [B7L] about to go out of print Message-ID: Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII These are the zines that I won't be reprinting when current stock runs out.

I've got three copies of issues 3, 4 (issue 4 is all Babylon 5), 5 (issues 1, 2, 6 have sold out) and I won't have any more when those are gone.

Gareth Thomas has a small part in episodes 8 & 9 of this 13 hour epic which is on 6 videos for $99.95 plus $7.95 postage. I'm sure no one is going to spend that amount of money on this just to get GT. He's in the two episodes for less than 20 minutes. However, the good news is that they asked for people to send in requests for what else they should be offering. I am going to Email them that I would like to see these two series done: How Green Was My Valley BBC 6 eps. 1976 The Bell BBC 4 eps. 1982 Thomas has a lead part in both of these which the BBC has no plans to repeat or to put out on video. If you're a Gareth fan and an American or Canadian, why don't you write in, too? The addy is vidcat@rivertrade.com The catch is that you have to give your name and address and I'm sure then that you will start getting catalogs from THE VIDEO CATALOG which mainly deals with shows from the UK. If you're in the UK, you might consider Emailing the BBC (I don't have an addy) and suggesting that these two series either be repeated or be put out in PAL video. These are two very excellent series, and I am dying to be able to get them on video. I don't care what they cost, I will be ordering them if they ever become available. And I do know that some other people in the past have mentioned that they would like to get HGWMV if they ever could.

Argh, digging out my copy now I see I have merely forgotten (nothing like a cover photo from a novel of the series to make you remember). You seriously mean I sat through two whole series as a kid without noticing GT in either?? Must have had very bad taste then. Speaking of which, as a kid, the one person who ever came close to beating Avon as 'object of desire' was one of the characters in the S&B series -- but that was based on the book, not the bbc series. It would be dead ironic if he'd been played by GT in the bbc version, but sadly not so. So we'll just have to settle for _nearly_ dead ironic, which doesn't have quite the same ring. Argh. Now I can see myself writing Blake's Seven--Iris Murdoch--CP Snow crossovers... watch out folks...!

I'll post a review as soon as I've listened to it, but those of you who've followed the series so far will know pretty much what to expect. Bad puns, smutty jokes, complex plots and pure B-movie atmosphere. I think both Gareth Thomas and Jacqueline Pearce are in this one. I'm hoping like mad that their characters meet as I want to hear Hywel and Madame Deephole together (she'd probably eat him alive!), but as they were in totally different parts of the plot this may not happen.

You need to do some serious reading of the Gareth Thomas credits section of my web site - but make sure you download one of the subsets as it's *very* large and will take forever to download if you try and do the whole thing at once. I think there's one picture there from the Bell, but it's not a terribly good one. Gareth had one of the main parts.

Uptown Toprankin' was the first new occupant of the UK #1 slot after B7 went on air. Which led me to realise that by by correlating nfo in Tony Attwood's Programme Guide and the Guiness Book of British Hit SIngles, I could produce possibly the most worthless list that ever pertained to B7, namely what was topping the charts when the series was first broadcast. But I would never inflict such rubbish on the Lyst, would I? 1st Season: The Way Back, SPacefall, Cygnus ALpha, Time Squad, The Web - Mull of Kintyre (Wings). Hanging on from the previous year, with Paul McCartney proving Sick Boy's Grand Universal Theory of Life. Seek-Locate-Destroy - Up Town Top Ranking (Althia and Donna). Travis nah pop no style, him strictly roots. Mission to Destiny - Figaro (Brotherhood of Man). Thankfully blotted from my memory. The BoM hit was pretty bad too. Duel, Project Avalon, Breakdown - Take A Chance on Me (Abba). Studio filming of Mission to Destiny was delayed after Abba nicked some of the costumes for the promotional vid. Boutny, Deliverance, Orac - Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush). I'm not going to make a cynical remark about this one because I like it. 2nd Season: Redemption, Shadow, Weapon - YMCA (Village People). So it's true, B7 really was a cultural oasis after all. Horizon - Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick (Ian Dury). Pressure Point, Trial, Killer, Hostage - Heart of Glass (Blondie). Heart of Stone by Kenny was 5 years too early for Avon. Countdown, Voice From the Past - Tragedy (Bee Gees). Ties in nicely with one of those two, at least. Gambit, The Keeper, Star One - I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor). A poignant juxtaposition for Travis II fans. 3rd Season: Aftermath, Powerplay - ANother Brick in the Wall (Pink Floyd). Volcano, Dawn of the Gods - Brass in Pocket (Pretenders) Harvest, City - Too Much Too Young (Special AKA). And as I type this I'm listening to Harvest for the World by the Isley Brothers. It just happens to be on the 70s Hits CD I've got playing. Children of AUron, Rumours of Death - COward of the County (Kenny Rogers). Sarcophagus, Ultraworld - Atomic (Blondie). Two episodes notably lacking in atomic hardware. Bad timing there. Moloch - Together We Are Beautiful (Fern Kinney). Well, I suppose anyone would look beautiful next to Moloch. Deathwatch, Terminal - Going Underground (the Jam). Terminal ... Going Underground. Yeah! 4th Season: Rescue, Power, Traitor - Prince Charming (Adam and the Ants). Take your pick. Stardrive, Animals, Headhunter, Assassin - It's My PArty (Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin). Games - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic (the Police). A bit too late for Tarrant to sing to Piri. Sand, Gold - Under Pressure (Queen and David Bowie). Banned from Xenon Base airplay by Lord Studsy. Orbit - Begin the Beguine (Julio Iglesias). Oh ghod yes. *That*. Urgh! Warlord, Blake - Don't You Want Me (Human League). Not entirely inappropriate, especially for the thought of Avon working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. I've got to go to work now. Neil, who writes lots of DOuble CApitals when he types too fast. -------------------------------- End of blakes7-d Digest V00 Issue #263 **************************************
