LOL! According to the article, why is it considered a virus? You have to manually install it. Wouldn’t that be called a “program”? So… someone designed a piece of software that displays a message on the screen… woo hoo.

> OK, so what sort of clown would be able to get the virus on his/her computer? The kind that first installs Linux and then manually installs the virus.

Sweet. They wrote a program for an Ipod that has to be installed with Linux and told the world lookout! Ipod virus’s are possible! :cjerk: :roll2:
