My picture of the mailbomber was filling in. The anger was real, targeted broadly at the arrogance of the computer industry and computer users who think Third World programmers are incapable of being evil hackers. Imagine the shop talk at the computer terrorist hangout. The other evil hackers are boasting about breaking into NATO, creating Swiss bank accounts, and shutting down phone service in the mountain states. Then our guy announces he has snailmailed Mac viruses to people who don't own Macs.
All heads turn.
And all his targeted victims have to do to bring the labeled virus to life is put the disk in their drive. Top that, diabolical geniuses. No, this fellow not only doesn't hang around such places, he doesn't know there are no such places. Or that viruses are routinely implanted with much less cost and trouble, and bragged about more globally, on the networks of the world. It psychologically unnerves you even as it adds to postal congestion.
