Hmmm. That is a worry. Israel and the US might have created a double edge sword 
which will harm computers everywhere.

On the other hand my optimistic self sees this as an opportunity. A massive 
switch to Apple or Unix by utilities companies would render the virus harmless. 
I know the US military already uses Apple computers in many critical areas for 
security reasons.

Cheers,
Carlo
