- Here in chicago on the channel 5 (NBC) news last night they had a story
- about a guy who had an 'Elvis Lives' virus pop up on his machine
- yesterday (15th ann'y of Elvis' death).
- It seemed to show a picture of Elvis in some SF?File dialog. I wasn't
- sure if it was just in this one program or in all of them. (So maybe
- it's not a virus, but a secret-trick in whatever program he wa using?)
-
- I thought this was incredibly irresponsible, since this was the ONLY
- machine they had seen it on.
-
- But anyway, I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about this virus/whatever.
