Ah, how soon they forget. (Kids these days ...) Heck, *I* forget. Was it Windows 3.0 or 3.1? Anyway, DOS 6. And lo, Microsoft went forth unto the land, and spake unto the makers of AV, and did say, who will give unto us their product for cheap, that we may call it by our name, and all geeks may use of it, and bless our name. And the makers of AV muttered amungst themselves, and said, and if we do this, what shall it profit us? And Microsoft spake unto them saying, are ye not the makers of endless upgrades? And shall ye not sell these upgrades unto those who have need of them since all will have thine product even though it be called by our name? And lo, Central Point did underbid all the others. And Microsoft did take unto itself CPAV, and call it MSAV, and all those who purchased DOS 6 did partake of it, and thought that it was good. But none knew that they needed to upgrade it. And then came unto Microsoft and Central Point the shame of the 14 bytes, and geeks despised them. And Central Point was cast into Gehenna, or Symantec, which is the same thing. rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () sun soci niu edu Find virus, book info http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm Mirrored at http://sun.soci.niu.edu/~rslade/rms.htm Review mailing list: send mail to techbooks-subscribe () egroups com Robert Slade's Guide to Computer Viruses, 0-387-94663-2 (800-SPRINGER) Viruses Revealed 0072130903 Software Forensics (forthcoming) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
