Sigh, it will probably be called the "Morris Worm", but I think
the "Great Locked Net Worm" is a much better name.

By the way, I heard that Morris' mom said that "Shockwave Rider", by John
Brunner was just about his favorite book.  In that one, the forces of good
hold a tyrannical government at bay with a worm very similar to the Great
Locked Net Worm.
