A computer virus can be malicious or just a nuisance. In malicious form, it can Email itself to your friends by sending Emails with attachments that look like they came from you or someone you know. This is why it's wise to never open an attachment unless you are expecting it from someone you know. Otherwise, be safe and just delete it. A malicious virus can also wipe out the contents of your hard drive, which is why many collectors should consider some type of backup device to save their info in case a virus attacks or your hard drive crashes. A nuisance virus or spyware will cause annoying info to randomly pop-up on your screen. Spyware will monitor your computer activity and send that info via your internet connection to it's mother program. The info sent could include your login ID and password for places like eBay and PayPal. Adware will pop-up info on your screen that advertises some product.
The leading program for computer virus protection is Norton Anti-Virus. This program can be purchased online for $27 (after rebate), or bundled with Norton Internet Security for $34 (after rebate). I recommend the bundle which provides additional firewall and spyware protection. You can buy it online, or in most stores that sell computer software. There are other anti-virus programs out there; the point is to install anti-virus program and keep the virus definitions up-to-date.
Another program I use religiously to erradicate adware and spyware that can creep into your computer is Ad-Aware SE Personal from Lavasoft. This program is a free download and seems to always find things that Norton can miss.
Another thing to be concerned about is Emails that you receive warning that your eBay or PayPal account is in trouble unless you click a link and update your info. These are almost always malicious in nature and are trying to get you to divulge your eBay or PayPal id/password. In the case of eBay, someone who maliciously obtains your id/password may sell something from your eBay account like ridiculously cheap computer equipment, then try to get the buyer pay with an overseas wire transfer. In the case of PayPal, your PayPal funds will be transferred out of your account. Never, ever click a link in one of these Emails. If you have concern, just login to your eBay account from the regular eBay page at www.ebay.com, or into your PayPal account from the regular secure PayPal page at: https://www.paypal.com. If there is something that needs your attention, PayPal will tell you after you log in. eBay has a "My Account" tab that you can click to view/update your eBay info.
As tax season approaches, if you still use an accountant or manually
fill out your tax forms, you should consider using the
Turbo-Tax Standard 2004 software to file your taxes.
If you fill out Schedule C forms for small business, then get the
Premier version instead.
Both will also come with software to do your Federal and State income tax forms,
then allow you to file online. It's quick, easy, and will find errors and deductions
that you could typically miss. I've been using their tax filing software for over
8 years now and love it.
You can buy it
online, or in most stores that sell computer software.
The only downside to this show was the report by four different dealers that bottles were taken from their tables sometime during Saturday morning. This re-emphasizes the need for dealers to have someone keep an eye on their table while they are out browsing the show floor. Such theft is a rare occurrence, but it's unfortunate for the impacted dealers when it does happen.
Below are some pictures from the show. To see all the pictures taken, click here.

Due to some theft problems at other shows, a uniformed Greensboro policeman was hired for security. No thefts were reported during the show.
Dealers reported good sales, and many collectors reported being very happy with their purchases. There were lots of interesting finds brought in for show & tell, some of which were sold to happy buyers.
Next year's show is scheduled for Sunday November 20, 2005.

How many times have you planned a bottle hunting excursion complete with early am departure, extra clothes, map, and every possible item that you think you are going to need for finding the booty? On the way home you�re thinking of excuses to tell the wife about being empty handed: "Somebody beat us to the lot", or "I tried to probe like the dickens but the ground was just too hard", or "the neighborhood scared me baby, you should have seen it." All these and a thousand more we have all used at one time or another. Well this is a story that happened a couple weeks ago while I was at work, "goofing off."
I work in the service field of elevators and at times I have to go into the loft or attic of the buildings to do my work. I have been going to this building for five years. The equipment I service is located in the attic and I go there once a month.
This particular morning I was not feeling well.
I don�t know if it was the weather, or a hangover, or both but I did not feel like working.
This building is circa 1895 and is downtown in a city in the Pee Dee area of
South Carolina.
While I was sitting on my behind I started playing with my new flashlight. It�s a nice halogen four double A battery light that shoots a mean beam. I looked down in the rafters and saw a bottle. Jumping down to my knees I eased over and pulled it out. It was a quart clear slugplate crowntop bottle with no embossing. A quick look told me it was from the twenties and I thought there might be a hobbleskirt coke up here. All of a sudden, I started feeling better. You have to imagine where I was at, you had to be on your knees with your neck crooked to the right to get a good look down in the rafters.
I moved on down the wall a couple feet and POW! Right there is a half pint jo-jo SC Dispensary monogram laying there. I grabbed the bottle and jumped up with my head making a dent in a two by eight board that was part of the ceiling. I had the bottle in one hand, my eyes closed rubbing my head with the other hand. After sitting there a minute or two I regained my composure. I told myself, "Let�s try not to do that again." I moved on down the wall and believe it or not there was another one. I looked up to gauge the ceiling and started salivating. I grabbed the bottle and blew the dust off of it and saw a full label. I could not believe it and tried to stand up for some stupid reason. WHAM!
Two bottles and two knots on my head. At this time I had to make a decision. I wanted to keep looking but my head was killing me. I was over the initial shock and my heart rate had returned to normal. I moved on down the wall and found two more, both with labels. I had about a twenty-minute lull and thought it may be over.
I then saw an opening behind a wall that had an air vent running down it on the floor. It was about a two-foot space. I could see down beside the wall and there was a space that opened up about five feet down the line. I�m a pretty big guy and I knew it would be a tight fit but at this point I�m set on going. It took about ten minutes to go the distance, inching along with the dust, sweat, and pigeon crap. The whole time I�m thinking, "I�m not sure I can get back out of this place I�m in." Finally, I make it to the opening. I rest a second and find I can stand up. The beam of light is my only vision and looking around this area I see three-pint jo-jo�s laying on the floor. At any moment I feel like I will wake up and be lying in bed beside my wife as I have done so many times before, but it does not happen. I comb the area well and scoop the bottles. Now I have to go back through that hellhole I just came out of. I make it out and just lay down on the floor and rest.
Then my pager goes off. I had forgot all about work. I strain to see the message on the pager and it reads, "911 Trapped Passenger on elevator 11 at Carolina Hospital call with ETA". Holy Jesus!! Panic Attack 101. I pack my stuff up and leave the building. Going down the road I look in the rear view mirror and gasp, "Oh No, I look like I�ve been in the coal mine for two weeks straight." I cannot go to the hospital looking like this. My brain is racing and I get a flash, I�ve got a good friend at the Hampton Inn who is the maintenance engineer, so I set sail up to the back entrance of the motel. I see one of the maids outside and I say, "Is Levon around anywhere." She says, "I�ll go get him."
He comes out and walks up to the van and stares at me and said, "Bo, where the hell
have you been?"I said, "I don�t have time to explain, I need to take a shower fast.
I�ve got somebody stuck at the hospital and I got to go." We ease in the back door
and he takes me to a room under renovation that still has water. I grab a couple
soaps, and shampoo from a cart and go to work.
He says, "What about the people stuck on the elevator?"
I reply, "They ain�t going nowhere, they�ll be there when I get there."
Well, I made it work, got cleaned up, rescued the people and was in the
parking lot relaxing looking at my bottles when it hit me, "Hey, I was not finished bottle hunting in the building."
So back I go and low and behold find a couple more later that afternoon.
Well, that�s my story and can swear that it's the gospel truth. I just cannot believe it all started by just GOOFING OFF. Bottle Count: 11 monogram SC Dispensary bottles, 8 half pints and 3 pints. 7 with labels. One of the half pints has a California Glass Co mint mark; it also has a beautiful label that reads "South Carolina State Dispensary / Hand Made Double Stamped Corn Whiskey". Several labeled only whiskeys, Meyer Pitts, J.W. Kelly, a couple of Nashville TN labels that read "Peerlass Lincoln Co Sour Mash". Several unembossed flasks. And last but not least, the one everybody wants, a 1936 RC Cola.
Happy Hunting!! .. Eric Warren
