[Nfb-or] Nfb-or Digest, Vol 31, Issue 5

Sat May 8 14:59:04 UTC 2010

The next great virus threat will be something called Good Times.  
Yup, you heard it here first!

Of course, back when the Good Times hoax was circulating, it was 
simply impossible for an email to do what the hoax claimed.  Then 
Microsoft came along and fixed that.  Now every 13 year old emo nerd 
wannabe with Visual Basic can write viruses, giving the anti-virus 
companies some real competition in terms of volume, if not any sort 
of creativity or complexity.

Just you wait.  Good Times is coming!
