Does anyone recall whatever happened to Joseph W Popp, the alleged
mastermind behind the AIDS Introductory Information Trojan Diskette?
Apparently he was arrested in late February or early March of 1990 on
charges of extortion and blackmail, but I have not heard anything
since.  Was he convicted?  Were the charges against him dismissed?

If anyone could mail a reply it would be appreciated.
