- There was an excellent article in a Computer Shopper a year or so
- ago about a virus their own production staff got hit with that did
- substantial damage. It came in on a VGA card installation disk!
- Obviously a commercial program. Apparently the card manufacturer had
- a subcontractor do the mass-duplication of the software, and they say
- that's where it got in. Scary...
