IMHO, all you need to do is ensure there remains no evidence to
the contrary... admittedly, it might get very difficult to have
10,000 units disappear with a wink and a handshake...

Hi All,
I've noticed that a few of you have been chatting about Badtrans -
according to Symantec, if you drop the underscore from the "From:" address,
you should end up with the user's actual e-mail address - if the virus chose
to use the actual address...
I've picked apart the message source and what it does is quite sneaky -
it uses an IFRAME to load the virus and also uses
MIME-headers-within-MIME-headers... A few of the regulars on alt.comp.virus
might want to elaborate... It's a crafty little bugger - it even installs a
keystroke logging trojan... Anyone remember the so-called "Sexyfun" or
"Spirale" virus (it's real name was Hybris) - it came in an e-mail from
hahaha @ sexyfun.net and could update itself over the web with new
"plugins"... One of which displays a _huge_ hypnotic spiral on-screen...
Sophos put a screenshot of it on their website (www.sophos.com).
Later.

It's certainly possible that I'm thinking of the Type 2...this was a
long time ago and I was running a couple of Sun2-120 boxes at the time.

Actually, I don't like the old style optical mice at all. I like
this one because I think the older optical mice are hard to find.
And on top of it, this was manufactured for use on the Jr - it wasn't
just a run-of-the-mill PC mouse, it had two funny connectors specific
to the Jr. (One for serial, and one to take power off the lightpen
port.) All of that makes it special.
My original machine had an MS bus mouse with a roller. Quite a
different animal to use.
The new optical mice are only vaguely related to the old ones.
They don't need the pad or anything. I haven't used one, so I
don't know if they are any more usable.

I think that's 614 cylinders for the ST225.
Oh GOD why do I remember that? Can't I recycle those brain cells?

Does anyone on the list know where I might be able to find a few (10-20) used
but in good shape dumb terminals? I need some with a pc-style kb and wyse 60
emulation.
