There may be those who feel that viruses are not funny.  I'm usually one of
them.  But I just read about one today that made me chuckle.

It seems that a virus has infiltrated Macintoshes in England.  According to
"Federal Computer News", whenever Macintosh users type the name "Margaret
Thatcher", a picture of Margaret Thatcher appears on the screen.

Personally, I thought this was funny.  Of course, it didn't happen to me...
