It has its positive side, too. I used the occasion to place an "editorial"
on my home page explaining that my system was not and will not be infected
by Melissa because it runs on FreeBSD.
I then suggested to my callers that if they are concerned about computer
safety they, too, should switch to FreeBSD. Just seizing the day. :-)
On a related topic: I read on wired news that Melissa originated at
Technical University in Bratislava, my home town. I studied at that school
decades ago! I'm not sure if I should be proud or ashamend. :-)
