And did you see the movie _Virus_ w/ Jamie Lee Curtis? In that one, an electronic lifeform (don't know that you'd call it a virus) inhabiting a plasma cloud hits a satellite in the middle of a download and gets sucked down into the russian (spy?) ship that was doing the download.

I had technical issues with it, but if you can suspend your disbelief, it's a pretty good show. : real danger that we'll be saddled with Microsoft's crummy operating system for at least another generation. I agree. Luckily we've had better for several decades now. And Linux is coming along nicely.
