"Billy Gates why do you make this possible?
Stop making money and fix your software!!"
"The anthrax mailings and the Nimda worm were released on exactly the same two dates.
Moreover, they were distributed via essentially the same method, and they shared a common apparent purpose.....
Released on the Same Dates
SEPTEMBER 18 & OCTOBER 9
The anthrax-laden letters were postmarked on Sept. 18
and Oct. 9, 2001."
