I Netlanders,

        Last weekend we had the worst time with virus in our labs.  We got
stoned, jerusalem'ed, ping pong'ed.

        I found a funny thing on one of the machine.  This is a tsr
file who responded when the return key is pressed.  It say that your
disk need a cleaning and ask for a confirmation.  When you agree for a
cleaning the floppy disk drive start.  Then "washing cycle" is writen
at the bottom of the screen and a washing machine sound come from the
speaker.  After that there's a spin cycle, a rince cycle and another
spin cycle with all appropriate sounds.  At the end of the process it
says that your disk is clean.

        I checked all disks and no damaged occured.  But it's kind of
funny joke.  I reset the PC and forgot to take a copy.  If a see it
again i'll take a copy and let it avalaible to the net.

        I want to appologize for my lest then poor english.
