I heard that the person they THOUGHT wrote the virus (a 22 year old man in Manila, the Philipines) was brought in for questioning and cleared, and now they're trying to track down one of his room-mates - a woman who hasn't been seen since the virus was unleashed, and who's studying computer programming at a school in Manila. Dr. Zik, you have a good point; heck, half of the software industry would be gone if they had to worry about people being safe from their products (Oh no! Quark express 5.0 was just recalled AGAIN). Unfortunately, the product is less tangible, and often hardware or user error can be blamed for major screw-ups, so they get away with (heck, game manufacturers are ENCOURAGED - by marketing flaks and shareholders) releasing shoddy, bug-ridden products.
