As some of you may recall, Cliff Stoll (author of "Stalking the Wily
Hacker" CACM May '88 and _The Cuckoo's Egg_ Doubleday 1989) asked
people to submit tales, horror stories, and so on about the Morris
Internet Worm.  Cliff then performed some statistical analysis on the
resulting data, and published the results as part of his paper "An
Epidemology of Viruses & Network Worms".  presented at the 12th
National Computer Security Conference last month in Baltimore (see
pages 371 -> 373 of the proceedings for the section of Cliff's article
on the Morris Work).
