Subject: aside:  worm vs. worm?

>>However, I'm almost getting to the point were I think we SHOULD have a
worm
that wipes out peoples hard drives.<<

seems to me there are enough old DOS virus that scramble the partition table
that it wouldn't even take any brains to make that a reality. Infect, spread
for 4 hours or till rebooted, scramble partition table. Instant and
complete.
