You people! All this complaining about virii and the like. Mere nothings. I recieved a large picture of an Englishman's "arse" the other day, and I can tell you it was far more horrifying than any system-crashing computer program.
(Of course, I cannot determine whether it is in fact English. But United Kingdom "arse", certainly.)

You think that Canada was spared from this virus? Our company's network got PASTED by this virus. Two hard drives had to be reformatted because they somehow weren't responding to the network anymore.
Turns out that my supervisor got this virus from her nephew. She thought it was a cute thing, so what could SHE do about it? My boss was in until the wee hours of the morning fixing this damned thing.

Egad! I got that photo too. And quite distressing it was. In relation to the love bug, I just heard on the news that they have tracked it down to some German exchange student living in Australia. Sheesh, dem evil Huns.

Apparently he set it off on Manila, so as not to leave a trace, but it seems he didn't do to good of a job there. We have guys in Sweden working on it too, sniffing on cloths.
What's more important is that "I love you" was just the beginning. An even more vicious spawn of the virus is distributing itself now, called "Virus ALERT!!!" and get this, it disguises itself as a warning for the "I love you"-virus, so the ol' X-Files motto has never been more true. If you get a "warning" with said mail-name from a friend it can be the virus sending itself.

Oh, and that cloth-sniffing metaphor was a reference to bloodhounds, nothing else!!!

SHIT... The local government has no laws against computer crimes, so she actually hasn't done anything illegal and therefore cannot be arrested in Manila... There you go FBI, with your fancy tech..
