>As Mr. Murray correctly pointed out, much more users damage their own >data than are damaged by 'nasty' software. The Oct 13 scare made our >users, who number in the tens of thousands, FINALLY listen to our >pleadings to make backup copies of their software and data. That a lie happens to result in some behavior that you favor, does not make it any less a lie. While it may be true that the publicity did result in a temporary increase in backup behavior, the benefit of such behavior may not be in proportion to the damage to public trust.
