NetBunny is an INIT that has the Energizer Bunny passing through the screen of
each person on the net that is running the INIT.  There is an associated
application that is used to get things started.  I don't know about the network
impact of the beastie, because we don't have it here.  As a matter of fact, the
Eveready people were upset about it, and the author has pulled distribution of
it.  But apparently it made it to the Apple Developer's CD, so there are plenty
of copies floating around.
