Computer Virus TV News Report 1988

November 2, 2013 by Paul Spoerry 3 Comments

HILARIOUS… it infected 6,000 computers, and made headlines. The best part is the news explaining that it's not really a "virus" like we have in our body but "…it's a code, a set of instructions. An act of sabotage that started on a floppy disk. This virus spreads by disk and by telephone, it's just a call away, and like a virus it replicates like crazy."

I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.
