In the "Instructions" to Vaccine, Brown mentions that this is the only
version of Vaccine that will be coming out, as he is busy with other
(paying) projects.  He also punctures the hysteria surrounding the "Mac
Virus Threat" and generally gives some very (I believe) objective comments
on the entire computer virus situation.  Worth reading.

Besides, if it wouldn't be "that difficult", then someone else can certainly
create a better version of Vaccine themselves.

                        like and make up reasons for it afterwards."
