     Once again there is some frightening news about the Columbus DAy
Virus!!!  As I was watching the Monday edition of computer chronicles
there was a segment on the problem that exists for the military.  It
seems that all branches have been put on the watch for this one
because of the recent HUGE number of finds in the Air Force and Navy.
The implications of this are wuite scary indeed.  Did anyone else hear
abou this or does anyone else have any light to shed on the severity
of the infection?
     One last question- do the armed forces have any plan of action
for such an occurance as the downing of a large number of their
systems at one time or for the vaccination of military hardware?
