Neat story, I must say.  Far be it for me to nitpick, though, but...

Thanks!

So, why are you worried about viruses?  Trojans are a much bigger
problem.

As the story shows ;)

03:38am up 1 day, 0 hrs, 39 min,  1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.01, 1.00
67 processes: 65 sleeping, 1 running, 1 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 98.2% user,  1.8% system,  3.7% nice, 0.0% idle

Wow...   103.7% CPU usage.  Those Alphas really are something.  :)

Had the "turbo" button on (remember those? :)

<snipped lots of "top" inconsistencies>

 PID USER    PRI  NI  SIZE   RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM  TIME COMMAND
  55 mp       16  20 54732 49521  9486 R      0 98.7 97.7 31:36 Lan

That's not using 97.7%, more like 77.3%.

The more serious problem here it that the TIME field
should read about 25 hours. Aside from that, my only
excuse is that somehow I was running "Microsoft top".
Damn you Bill!

Thanks for writing!
