[plug] Windows Briefing

[Shackleton, Kevin]

A couple of viruses floating around at the moment do just that - basically
trashing the motherboard unless you happen to know a way to make new
EEPROMs.  Maybe these virus writers were using MS' technology.

	I would just love to know *how* it happened.
	I can accept the possibility that it would wreck my system but I
have
	never known an OS to directly alter the bios, which I assume it has
	done, and without even actually progressing to actually install the
OS.
