 I was going from the theory that since they could trick ours that we
 could trick theirs. Assuming that the Laws of Electricity are Universal
 would take care of the electical Part, but Ill concede on the OS as I know
 from reading this Conference that a Virus has to be written for Mac 
ifferent
 than Dos
 SB> For one thing, imagine you just going into a completely different

 SB> them with a virus.  Good luck :-)  The movie glosses over how hard it
 SB> is to make a virus and how much info you need on the OS underneath... 
 
 I would suspect that I would bide my time & examine the System & then find
 out what was similiar & was different & act accoringly? 
... This tagline is made just for Steve Bennett
