Windows 2000BC, Is that Windows 2000 before Christ, after Windows
Neanderthal Technology, this would sure make sense :-))

If you installed all the services packs ( You know these 100 MB of patches
for security bugs ), especially SP2 then you shouldn't have be infested by
nimba, however if you didn't that you gentilly helped spreading around the

Just for info, so that everyone can have a laugh, the swiss Post, had their
servers blocked by the virus :-))
