when there was a program that would set the refresh rate on your monitor very very high and it could cause the monitor to die.... Doesn't happen anymore though :-)
I also recall rumours of a virus in the ~1995 time frame which would cause overexcursion of the r/w heads in the hard drive, causing the heads to crash into the side of the drive.
Did a virus cause that, or was it Maxtor's engineering department? Regards, Brent _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
