[comp.sys.amiga] An interesting incident.

A funny thing happened the other day.  I was at a friend's house, looking
at some brand new software packages she had just bought.  I showed her
a few of mine, etc.  Anyways, we went back to play her new games, and
they refused to work.  Even after turning the power off.  It was then
that we deduced that a virus had entered her system, and due to the
fact that her disk drive's write-protect sensor was busted, and any
disk inserted was writeable, it nuked her brand new packages.

Apparently, the drive was investigated by her two year old, with a
handful of pennies.  And a thorough investigation of my disks with
VirusX revealed that about 50% of them were infected with the
'Byte Warrior'.

Ick.
