There was some jackass radio broadcaster here (WRKO

And how many
virus authors would be able to get the guidance computer's
*schematics* in the first place? Without a simulator (or a real machine) and
a copy of the schematics, trying to write a virus like that would be damn
near impossible IMO.
And yet the general (technophobe) population of Boston may well have
believed him... Idiots like that shouldn't be allowed to broadcast anything,
period.
Later.
