The attached is a good example of what to watch out for these days. If you look carefully at the URL you'll see that instead of taking you to Amazon's web site you'll be taken instead to a pfishing look-alike site: "Click here to make a financial contribution" = http://www.latino.no/gfx/.www.amazon.com/ You can be sure that nothing contributed to this particular site will ever go to the victims of Katrina. -- Doc
