Computer Viruses are 25 years old

Interesting article here - Friday the 13th (oh the irony!) marked 25 years since the first computer virus was reported. Interesting, the first virus was on an APPLE, not a PC. Perhaps Apple took it more seriously at the time and did something about it?

Just another example of how someone decides to have some mischievous 'fun' and the idea then morphs into the scourge of today. No doubt, back in 1982, people dismissed it as a 'fad' that would soon pass...

(PS. I looked it up - the plural of virus is viruses, not virii - I stand corrected)
