And during Slapper, apparently all of Bank of America's ATMs went down
due to the M$, er, Slapper infestation.

In the past few days, I understand that the incompetent companies closing
operations temporarily due to the blast virus & M$ include Air Canada,
a Swiss bank, and a U.S. power utility.  The Great Northeast Blackout
of 2003's timing with blaster seems coincidental but who knows.
