Another 25 Year Anniversary

In case you missed it, this week was the 25th anniversary of the first personal computer virus. The virus, dubbed, "Elk Cloner" was created for the Apple II by Rich Skrenta, when he as a ninth-grader as a prank.

It is also the fiftieth anniversary of the launch of the Ford Edsel, which became synonymous with the word blunder.

Just thought you'd want to know.
