CNN says
"A worm shut down computers running Windows 2000 software across the United States. More soon."LOL I love that in the lexicon of this digital age, the word "worm" can suffice instead of computer virus or computer worm.
I mean, wouldn't you love to know that it was actually this that was to blame?
