Well, I'd like to see the code for the infinite loop that'd melt down my processor. I've written a few in my time (accidentally), and the machine's still here. I think this is probably a joke. I actually have received a "GOOD TIMES" message, actually got one a couple of times, way back when I used AOL (feel free to flame, it was pre-linux for me, too). Anyway, the message was a virus in some sense, but it required active participation. It was a message saying that it had been around the world X number of times and that anyone who would do what it said and continue the pyramid, tacking on their own name, would get great wealth and voodoo luck. If you failed to do this in Y number of days, all manner of evil catastrophies would befall you. I ignored it with no ill effects at the specified instance of doom. -- Rob
