BUT i think Microsoft should be punished too for having so many security holes. they had to patch it faster. who's fault is it really when you buy a door, you lock it, but a burglar finds a way to easily open it, comes in and tells you... just my 2 cents -- harry aka Rik Bobbaers ps. i don't agree with the worm writers, but just want to say it's not just his fault, microsoft has to take it's responsability too K.U.Leuven - LUDIT -=- Tel: +32 485 52 71 50 Rik.Bobbaers@...kuleuven.ac.be -=- http://harry.ulyssis.org -- Air conditioned environment - do not open windows!
