Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well that was interesting. Apparently Yahoo has been upgrading software. http://news.com.com/2061-10811_3-6171648.html Funny what happens when an unattended machine starts feeding back on itself. Reminded me of the Sorcerers Apprentice in Fantasia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
