I personally wished that "Good Times" wasn't a hoax so I could forward it
to Dragon and laugh at its pathetic attempts at reformatting anything. ;)
 
And for those who didn't know, programs can't run themselves just by
opening them (unless you have a really brain-damaged e-mail program that
automatically runs every single attachment you receive.).
 
And for those who hail assembler as the almighty language to do anything
you want with a virus/trojan horse...they don't call it 'protected mode'
for nothing. (Hence, no Unix viruses/virii that do damage without a stupid
administrator, aka Bliss.)
