[Am-info] Anti-virus fight gets cash boost

[Gene Gaines]

Erick,

I dunno.  I've never trusted those "slash-dot" people.  Ya know,
"/." is just not very good Microsoft talk, so how can we all
understand it, and they tend to forget to capitalize words,
and they somehow put underscores in filenames rather than the
spaces that the entire world uses.  I dunno.

I'm thinking of scavenging the slash-dot web site, and sending
all those crazy people to Microsoft and suspected hackers.

Hmmm.  Black hat.  More people.  Mebbe an Apple staff directory.
Also, should not forget the Massachusetts Attorney General's
staff directory.  Hell.  Should turn myself in.  Mebbe someone
with my name did some hacking.  I could win $5 million in
exchange for a one or two year jail term.  That would beat
working!

Afterthought.  The kid next door has a computer.  I wonder.
Mebbe him too.
