In response to the California/Wobbler virus posting, I checked the Urban
Legends and Folklore web site that contains current information about
e-mail/internet hoaxes. Sure enough, the California/Wobbler virus showed
up. It is a hoax. Check it out at

Before posting virus e-mails to list serves or passing them to friends,
it's a good idea to go to this web site and see if the virus is listed.
