Clinton Haines, who earned his place in virus-writing history at the age
of fifteen as Harry McBungus, became a household name in the virus world
by the time he was eighteen as Terminator-Z and TaLoN, gained widespread
fame a couple of years ago with front-page newspaper headlines yelling
about how his No Frills virus had stopped the Australian Taxation Office
dead in its tracks for two days, and was regarded by his peers as one of
the "best" virus writers of all time, will be cremated tomorrow morning.
Clint quit virus writing two years ago to concentrate on his university
studies and he had the intelligence to go a long way in his chosen field
of microbiology, but unfortunately being intelligent doesn't always give
you street smarts.
Clinton Haines/Harry McBungus/Terminator-Z/TaLoN died from an overdose
of heroin ... on his twenty-first birthday.
