I like to play a bit, so whenever I get an e-mail attachment that I don't know what it is, I forward it to a second e-mail address that I retrieve on an old 486. This is just a junk machine that was given to me, so I could care less if the OS gets nuked since that and my e-mail client are the only things on it. It doesn't have a flash BIOS, so no worries there. I download the file, check it out, and yes, have received many viruses, trojans, etc, but have also recieved many amusing videos, audio clips, etc.
