question about viruses

In fact, I clipped and saved this article (and many others) and still have it in a file folder laying on a shelf in my bedroom closet. The author then accurately predicted the explosion of computer virus attacks. In 1986 I was just playing around with computer timebombs on the Apple ][ (one of my dumb friends actually used my program on an unsuspecting fellow computer class student and got reamed out pretty good by the teacher) but viruses were pretty scarce. A few years later and they started to become a major nuisance.
