The only problem I have with these is that they tend to take large amounts
of disk space since we don't have any hardware infected with the Microsoft
virus, Windows.

Then I see headlines in the newspaper where Bill Gates is pontificating
about 'Net security and the spam problems!  Yeah!  Right!

Perhaps people might get the idea if one of these worms reformatted every
Windows hard drive on the 'Net.  It's not as though Windows users haven't
been warned.  We've been turning away business for at least ten years where
the prospective customers insisted on using Windows, telling them there was
no way we were going to help them expose their critical data to theft and
loss by putting it on a 'Net connected Windows box.
