Never having considered myself a geek or a nerd, even though I have spent
over 35 years working in the computer industry, I guess I really am.
While watching the Olympics – yes, sometimes I actually look at something
other than my PC screen, although not often, I promise – this
enlightenment suddenly came to me. An advertisement for ATT.COM
appeared, and to my amazement blue ants were running all over the screen.
I don't know about you, but to me, ants are bugs, right? Now, do I
really want to subscribe to an Internet server which is filled with bugs?
To my increasing horror, these bugs kept multiplying, and even bridged
gaps. Can you say VIRUS and WORM? What was this company or it's ad
agency thinking? Maybe others had the same thought because after a week
the ants disappeared. Perhaps they developed a patch? I think I will
just give ATT.COM a pass, at least until the are RAIDed! [Chuck Erickson]
