I am doing a speech on Macintosh viruses, and am looking for a "graphic" virus.
I need a virus that does something visible--one like "CRABS" or the "Cookie 
Monster"--but will at the most wreck a spare system disk or an application.  
I plan on showing the damage a virus can do and how it infects a system.

  Has anyone been recently attacked by such a virus, or is anyone doing
research on them that is willing to Snail-mail me one (please, don't send one
over the BBoard).  Send me a message describing it. I'll be willing to pay for
postage/disk.  My speech is in two weeks, and the the computer science dept.
near me only uses IBM and has no viruses.
  I know--this is the first time someone's ASKED for a virus!
