A benefactor to the museum just damaged her computer by following the
instructions in a hoax. There is a e-mail going around that says you should
remove the file SULFNBK.EXE from your computer, the e-mail claims it is a
virus set to activate on June 1. DO NOT remove the file, it's a utility
shipped as part of the Windows 98 operating system that allows users to
restore long file names.
