Editorial

Greetings,

Hope the Melissa virus did not get a hold of you. ;-) Not to mention the Chernobyl virus. ;-(

But here is something which might tickle your fancy:

NELSON MANDELA VIRUS
Stays locked away for in some unused region of your PC for 27 years and then takes over completely.
MINI TAXI VIRUS
Crashes through your PC with very little regard for the rules of the Internet highway. Stops data traffic for no reason. Causes other data to explode. Doesn't have software licence.
AFRICAN TIME VIRUS
Slows your PC and wreaks havoc with production runs because they are never on time. Makes it impossible to schedule data runs.
THIRD WORLD VIRUS
Keeps turning back your clock by 20 years. Slows down the fatest PC to the speed of the operator. Each transaction has to be manually supervised to check for erros.

Yes, they are a few jokes and perhaps better suited in the jokes section, but nevertheless enjoyable. :-)

Happy reading,
