Michelangelo Day, six years later

Rob Rosenberger, Vmyths co-founder
Friday, 6 March 1998 HAPPY MICHELANGELO DAY! Please note: if you can read this today, it means your computer didn't get hit. Crypt Newsletter editor George C. Smith offered up the best quote:
"Michelangelo is an IQ test you can use to gauge the acumen of your local newspaper's tech editors and reporters. If they run a story on it six years after it flopped — they flunk."
Remember virusmag.com? I couldn't ping their domain this morning. It appears iRiS stopped providing DNS support for the "independent" online magazine. (You don't suppose Michelangelo had anything to do with this, do you?)
