Default Paranoid? Or just (over) cautious?
Received an email from the DPS forum from the address "dpschool@me.com." This is new to me, but I have been off line for some time, so I may have missed any news about it.

So far I have only received Darren's newsletters with the 'normal' and unsuspicious email address. Being extremely careful and almost paranoid when it comes to emails from unknown addresses, I haven't opened it yet.
"Me.com" reminds me too much of the spam I regularly receive, supposedly from myself.

Can anyone help me out?

me.com is an Apple thing. Kinda like the new mac.com. Nothing dangerous about it. Mostly used by Mac fan boys.

Default Paranoid etc.
Thanks for your replies. One little worry out of the way.

Always better to be safe than sorry. I'd never heard of Me.com, not being an Apple user.

You live and learn!

I'd be more worried now......you never know what viruses the mac fanboys will plant to get folk to switch over
