There were other stories about all this, including one about them
turning on the DEW line, and detecting a swarm of missiles coming across
the Arctic from Siberia which turned out, when the initial panic was
over, to be the Moon Rising. I remember the Flyingsdales (sp?) station
in Yorkshire, when everything steel for miles had to be grounded. What?.
Who had steel buildings?, Farmers had, to store feedstuffs. Who could
have thought of that?.

Good Link, anyway.

:Like:

esp

It's tragic how the modern PC has put us into this situation, where we no
longer have control or even visibility into the working of core,
privileged components of our computers---components running software that
could potentially be malicious. By the modern PC I do, of course, mean the
IBM PC of 1981.
