Values like this (which would bankrupt companies, if it was real, yet
not yet heard of a compny going bankrupt due to email virii) alway
remind me of Bell South claiming a sub-$20 dollar document that they
sold was worth $79,000 cause it was in electronic form.
A rough calculation using 1,000,000,000 (the way I see a billion) being
applied to a reversed Bell South (or BS) meathod of calculating computer
damages, that I just invented results, in a probably more realistic
value of $253,164.55. Worldwide.
