I should have written down the particulars....

I was in a local bookstore and there was a *BOOK* on computer viruses.
This included chapters on history, types of viruses, different
operating systems and included source code in several languages for
some viruses.  It also had chapters on security viruses and how to
prevent and detect viruses.  Anyone can buy this book and be dangerous
now that the "secret" is out.  Having written a couple of viruses
myself I found the book informative and useful as far as it went.  I
even found a few things in it that I hadn't thought of.

I guess now we can discuss these things like we are reasonable adults?
