Great history lession! I'm old enough to have experienced the SCA virus firsthand. Fortunately, as far as I remember it didn't destroy any of my disks, because I learned about it before it actually reached me. So I already had begun to write-protect all of my disks that weren't meant for data storage. But a wild time nonetheless! Did you know that there were actual rumours about viruses that were said to spread in your disk box by "over-magnetizing" the disks and imprinting any disk next to them? :D
