*Recently two of my friends, an American and a Japanese, mailed me on internet the same very interesting Christmas card. Following the instruction, you can open the envelope and take out a card. When you click on the designated part on the card, a Christmas tree comes out. Then the tree is decorated with candles. B‚™ clicking the twilight star, all candles are lit up. Two dogs come to the garden and snow begins to fall. And tell you Merry Christmas, All pictures were designed well. It is really a nice card.
Both friends sent me the card as an attached file, shown in below:
But when I try to open the above file, a warning came out on the screen of my computer. It says " if you open this file, data or programs on your computer may be altered, broken or deleted, or transferred via internet. It would be better for you not to open it unless the file is proved to be safe."
As you may know, computer virus raged Japan fiercely. To continue to open files by neglecting the warning is a very dangerous bet. The latest virus crashes not only you own computers but computers held by other people. The mail ought to be abolished immediately. Or you should make a severe security check on it and confirm it as safe. It takes from twenty minutes to a few hours to check it, Therefore Mr. Yoshinobu Nakamura, an adviser of computer technology, told me not to mail files with attached files such as "xxx,exe." When you received such a mail, it is better to delete it immediately. Or you should make a high level security check on the mail before you start the next action.
*From early morning, it was fine and blue. It was transparent without any clouds. As I was busy at my home work, it was after three o'clock in afternoon when I started to get out from Tokyo, First I drove westward on Metropolis Speedway No. 3. I saw clearly Mt. Fuji ahead of me from the speedway. It was bigger than imagined. After I entered the Tomei Super Express Way, I could see the mountain intermittently. As the sunset was approaching, the black silhouette of Mt. Fuji came out in orange sky. And then it faded away into darkness. Although I have been driving on Tomei highway frequently for more than thirty years, it was the first time for me to see such a beautiful sunset.
