[comp.virus] The Devil Made Me Do It

Thanks to the help of several people on the net, I've discovered that
it is quite easy to make the Happy Mac Screen turn into anything you
please. Just include a startupscreen file in the system folder. This
is exactly what a clever person did. SuperPaint lets you create these
automatically.

I would think it was rather clever if I hadn't spent the day wringing
my hands. The worst casualty of the virus epidemic may not be lost
data, but our senses of humor.
