The problem here is that the VB script doesn't directly cause 
bodily harm.

Loss of property is much less serious than bodily harm.

I think it is better to be understated. There have been some great
letters to the SMH. The first to be printed didn't even mention
Linux, but just said my more reliable system wasn't affected.

Most people know.

Also, be aware, Rick, (please don't get me wrong here), the libel
laws in Aus are pretty strong. Think about the inferences of the above.
(it could be read: MS makes products that kill people)
