I just heard a broadcast about a deadly virus that was a serious problem in 1918..It has resurfaced again and is transmitted thru the mail..

Maybe it is not a coincidence that Tyros2 recipients are getting sick..

Yeah, I figured as much - my Grandad never mentioned anything about a virus in his e-mail in 1918.

You guys would mess up a free lunch....

Virus's, trojans, email, 1918, Grandpa's...sshhhh

I guess I'm just getting old, I remember way back when you could buy a trojan at the gas station for 25 cents, protected you from virus'es. Whats the gals name with the initials "AVG"????

Sorry Fran, you started a nice community warning here, and we make fun of it, I apoligise! You may have a very valid concern, over several arranger players getting sick all at once, I'm guessing its just a normal percent of so many people getting sick this time of year, and we are just aware of ty II buyers all bunched up and reporting here.

Cheers ....Pose

Pose, I know of a few G70 buyers, and they are healthy as a horse...Maybe it's a combination of buyer's remorse[Tyros2] and flu season..

Fran,

This one would be medically and physiologically impossible. The virus could not survive long enough to make it through the mail, even if it was attached to the envelope's gummed closure flap. Virus' are fairly fragile, especially when it comes to temperature extremes, and the vast majority die in a matter of minutes after being exposed to a dry, cold environment. However, they can be easily transmitted via human mucosa, and primarily are passed from one person to another when the carrier coughs or sneezes. One more reason not to let someone else use your mic.

Cheers,

Gary

Fran, you wrote 1918?
Your G-1000 dates back to that era, give or take a few months, but maybe by now you have acquired an immunity, so that's the reason you are not having symptoms?

Virus in a box
tyros II in a box, at this point I don't care I just wish yamaha would get it here. They promised on or before the 15Th, and the music store, estimated before that date.

No as of yesterday! Starting to come down with Scott Yee Syndrome...

Gar: can't go along with your diagnosis of germ lifetimes. Kissed a 18 year old girl back in 55, had that virus until I got rid of it in 78......He He....pose
