    Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies in 1971 wrote an experimental self-replicating program called Creeper. The virus was first detected on ARPANET.

    Supposedly, Brain was the world’s first computer virus. Does that make it a technology marvel or another illegal act? On the one hand I think there is nothing smart or funny about messing up other’s computers. On the other hand, they seem to have acted in naivety rather than malice. What do you think?
