Thank you, nachi worm!

Arrive at work at 8:30. Big note on screen. Agency infected. New virus scan will be required before we can log in to the network. 45 minutes of scanning brings a clean bill of health for the man with 567 unopened e-mails (and I don't even GET spam on my work account). I don't have time to open the stuff I should open, let alone the infected garbage people pass along. Then, four freeze-ups while I try to log in. Windows, Windows, Windows -- it's almost impossible to "End Task" by accident. Why must you ask me if I really meant it? So my normal 10-minute startup (no kidding, it's 10 minutes before everything is done running and my machine is ready to accept a command from me, its lowly owner) turned into an hour and a half. Tonight I'll go home, press the sleep button on my Mac, and I'll be on the web in less than 5 seconds. I don't want to get into a big Windows/Mac thing; I'm just saying.
