There was a discussion about computer virii (and whether anyone with a Mac OS had ever had one).

I posted about a problem with my PowerTower Pro 225. IIRC, every 24 minutes (I think) the computer inserted the phrase "Welcome datacomp" into the text, wherever the cursor was located.

Several members let me know the problem was the keyboard. The story was some disgruntled employee had embedded the code in a third-party keyboard.

That gave me the name for this forum. Have pretty much found good advice here ever since.
