I'm not a real doctor (but I am a real worm)  

The launch of this site was seriously hindered by the MSBlaster worm, a truly hideous invention which just about had me tearing my hair out. What disturbs me most about the whole experience is that I tried to download the XP patch from Microsoft a couple weeks ago when the Homeland Security Department put out its unprecedented warnings. But when I got there, Microsoft's automated system evaluation concluded that I needed some 56MB worth of patches and updates, and there was no way for me determine which were related to this latest, most urgent problem. Meanwhile I'm still living in the age of the 56K modem, and there was no way I could tie up my phone line long enough to download all that stuff. Thankfully Microsoft has now made the patch more accessible, but they sure failed me in this case - twice.
