After spreading quietly for months, the virus "activated" on March 6, and promptly started destroying data on tens of thousands of computers. He knew enough to change the date on his computers to fool the virus in 91. In 92 it slapped him upside the head and he lost all of his clipper app files as well as lots of data because the backup he had was a bad tape or something??? I remember his OM crying on the phone. This guy owns his own twin engine plane so he can fly down to the gulf coast to get on his boat. I think I was a butt head and told here to circle the date on the calendar for next year so they wouldn't get hit with it again because it must be on at least one disk that they had. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
