Point of info: Going back to MS-DOS days (long before Windows), we had to take precautions to avoid having our computers attacked by a virus known as "Michelangelo" on March 6 every year. I recall manipulating the date on my PC so that March 6 would not show up automatically and set the nasty Michelangelo namesake loose. Anyone else remember that? Does Michelangelo (the virus) still exist?
