OK, in mid January I discovered that a large chunk of my firefox bookmarks
had simply disappeared. I had still old ones there from 2004, and recent
ones......but a whole load from 2005 had vanished.

But now today I see that everything has disappeared. Absolutely
everything.

What the frig is amiss.

Might be a virus. I had one that emptied some email folders <sigh>

If you go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ you can do a free online
virus scan.

There's been shift-slip in the force. Trails of your presence in this
empire are slowly being removed. For my part I have deleted all your
access log entries from my servers - as instructed.

Soon you will no longer exist, in fact you will never have existed. There
is only one version of history - it is being updated right now.

oh no. Cripes, I'm finished

With no history, and no ID number to prove that I exist (or indeed EVER
existed), I am fecked.

I can't get into a bank account; mor get money to buy food, or pay
bills....i can't get a passport to leave the country; i can't get a
license to drive; I can't get benefits; or see a doctor.

I might as well be dead. I imagine the crack troops will be along the
stret at any minute to put me down, like a homeless dog.

I am unproductive to the system.

If you don't have a bank account, don't use money, don't drive, don't
see doctors, don't have an ID to prove you exist.. how are they gonna
track you down?

People were perfectly capable to live off the land before anyone

you're willing to be self sufficient and grow your own food.
It's modern technologies that got us hooked and dependent.

good idea, els

the only problem is now that the majority of farmers have sold their
businesses around here and sainburies grows our food.

I understand completely - BTDT, one of the folders the virus deleted
was "Compliments", where I stored all sorts of nice emails people sent
me for cheering me up when I needed it.

So go get your computer scanned! The URL I gave above is a very
reputable company and is how I discovered (and got rid of) the virus
that ate my email.
