| the blaster.worm....and this saturday I was just reading articles in the Washington Post and various other papers, and they said that this was a VERY sloppily written worm...rather than writing the source code by hand, they simply copied and pasted code from an existing worm. The worm only scans a certain number of ports, and rather than being able to tell what OS the victim has (most good worms can do this) it randomly launches the worm for Win XP or Win 2k, meaning that it only has a 50% chance of infecting the computer. They're expecting that someone refines the worm, in which case, it's effect would be FAR greater than what we have now. I feel bad for the people this is affecting, but on the 16th, the DoS attacks on MS will hopefully open a few eyes. And if someone refines it.....wow.

| Haha....Windows 95= Mac 88. Has anyone seen the Windows 95 video, when Bill is introducing it? He has a HUGE circus tent on the M$ campus, a live band (I think it may have been Beck) playing, thousands of fans, press, and computer experts/journalists in attendence, and as he's introducing Windows 95, the greatest OS ever invented, it crashes? HILARIOUS!

| another forum i visit is filled with PC users running windows. majority of times i mention i'm running a mac, they scoff, followed with remarks like "Hah! MAC's sux!" currently, i'm only replying to topics referring to the worm. most users have no clue how to remove the worm. its so much fun giving them instructions, and then ending it with: "next time your mom or dad want to buy you a computer, buy a mac!" or "OS X rules, baby!" ^_^ it's so much fun. all the mac bashers haven't said a word. =)

| LOL! Do they ever give you reasons why Mac "sux" or is it just empty spit? Dlatu: Are you referring to this? 'Cuz that's Windows 98 they're showing off.

| I remember that, arden. When I found it, I downloaded and kept it on my Mac for about a year, watched it everyday. That just cracked me up!
