  YEp, I still had soem floppies infected, as I
didn't discover its infestation of my midi system for
awhile, and was doing the sneakernet back and forth between
machines with floppies, so a few floppies in my collection
got infected too.  Katrina got all that though, and this
machine never touched those floppies, even though it was my
dos midi box shortly after I bought it.  Fresh install of
cakewalk professional for dos from the installation disk
provided by the factory, and brand new midi interface whose
driver for cakewalk I had to grab via ftp off the net.

I remember seeing quite a bit of asm source code for various viruses posted
in dirty_dozen and other echoes back during
the rash of packet ramming, along with other pornographic
messages.

Regards,
           Richard
