I crashed a 360-91 in California from here in Urbana - taking
the Illiac IV and the entire Arpanet along with it - AND did it
three times in one day in 1973 - all within 5 seconds of trying to start a 
file transfer.  It took the Arpanet gurus weeks to figure out why the
net crashed. No one had tried a 360 <---> Illiac IV (Burroughs mainframe)
transfer of the exact kind I was trying before. And, this was
years before viruses had been invented!
