Was sitting on my desk abt 8.15a.m, still warming up before work, when I received a call from the engrg department,, 2 computer down, can't boot ,SOS cries. It really sounds familiar, 2 computers down at the same time. The symtoms were, cant' boot up, Windows files wipe out. Then the engrg guy shook me, up, what's " April 26" ???
Replaced the drive of one computer(hopeless one, BIOs cant' see it), while the other was still able to be recognised , so down to fdisk and reformat for the second one.
Really tied up and worn out by this darn CIH virus. Remembered, I actually did encountered this menace a year ago, actually sent 2 computers to the computer repair shop. But I guess, I never learned from history, that's my mistake and ignorance, what a painful way to loose your data , is what means the most, it doesn't matters which brand your motherboard, Processor, or even if it's a mainframe computer. And what consequences it will impact on us, when the responsibility is place on us, the people who support them ? I cannot imagine, might be a 'Dent' in our track record. Really can't take it easy. Luckily the database were stored elsewhere, managed to get away with it.
For those of you, remember "April 26", means 'Judgement Day' for computers windows files. And tribute to CIH programmer, who really make my 'Day'. Such talent in the other 'Way'. Guess it's 'Good' and 'Evil' do stand hand in hand. The creator and the destroyer. That's what make the world, I guess.
