Posted in case the virii authors are Amigans..

I hereby offer a $1 bounty to anyone who catches a person who writes "virii" and puts him in correctional detention.

(It's "viruses", or "virions" if you're talking about several virus units. There is nothing called "virii" in any language. )


Is there a chance to earn those 2 x $250k if I turn in the authors of MS Lookout and IIS? Let's attack the roots here.

These virus writing bastards should be charged with terrorism, no one should be allowed to get away with trashing peoples machines.

The old amiga viruses were much more innovative , anyone remember "timebomb"?  :-)

[Arst]

bugcode , ppl are still going to hate em and keep writing "blaster" like viri´s wonder how long longhorn will last  :-P

I bet if people finally stopped writing viruses, then antivirus companies would write them themself.. they live on computer viruses.. big money  :-D

simmilarities with m$ and genesi, anyone?

Uuh, yeah, anyone?

They're both computer companies.  
They both attracted a lot of customers away from AmigaOS.  
They both produce hardware as well as software.
The both have the letter S in their names somewhere.
They both have desktop Operating Systems available right now?

I'll probably think of some more later  :-)

[Methuselas]

I'll give the guy 10 bucks, American even, if he KEEPS writing the virii!

Heh, yeah, I'm kidding, but it sounded funny.
