Router , router ????

No , I didn't stutter. This morning a news item was aired on CBC.
There is a virus ( or bad program ) that is attacking computers that are Mac based or Linux or ..... ( other basic computer instruction systems ) .. so my PC is safe.
Nope , b/c the routers that we use also use basic computer instruction systems.
Thus , your computer isn't in danger except for the feed system ( router ) that could be corrupt.
And the basic computer instruction systems ( Linux etc ) are maintained by volunteers ( actually , til recently , a volunteer ).
Now a team , is working on protecting the basic systems.
Volunteers  ? And for what we pay , big corporations etc rely on volunteers.
Obviously , you'll need to do your own research.. this message may be garbled b/c I may have heard garble.. half awake.

Weather : boring , warm / sunny - gentle breezes

Relatives fly in , to - night , from Vancouver. This trip would be a maintenance effort - sister visits the nuclear family or what's left of the family. Lots of people but spread out. And not in touch much.
Thats the 3 rd generation out.

Go look at your router... b/c that's about all that I can do.
Time to call some friends.
