So, did many people get bitten by that Chernobyl.cih virus ? Loads of
people in DCU have lost stuff - it waited until today, and then trashed the
BIOS, the boot sector, partition table & the first few megs of the FAT.
If you dual boot windows....think very hard before rebooting into it
today, unless it's off a virus checking floppy...
Damn, I'd hate to have to use Windows.

My work PC was unaffected, though there is a possibility my home PC is.
Would changing the time in the BIOS save my PC just in case?
I unfortunately have some Word documents which I have to work on tonight.
