Hi,

I have been hearing strange rumors recently, and wanted to see if they
were real.  Has anyone heard of a Macintosh virus that attacks
LaserWriters??  I have heard that one exists which causes damage to
the logic board.  I doubt the truth of this, but I don't know for
sure.  Has anyone seen this virus?  Has anyone else heard this rumor?
Am I a babling on aimlessly??

I would appreciate any replies, as I know of a pair (or possibly 3)
LaserWriters which have all developed a problem recently.  This may
just be a false alarm, but I really don't know!

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Matt Farmer
