I clicked on the "link" and also got that ".dat" file. After someone said
that it was ok to download this, I went ahead and downloaded it. Nothing
came up in the way of photos, however, a "worm" virus was put onto my hard
drive. The photo archives (or photo list) of The List contains many of this
type of file. If you start looking at the list of photos you come across
things which are not even remotely related to transportation. I have told
Derrick about this and gave him some of the file names. These things need to
be cleaned up to protect Windows based PC users.
