Now they got him in a cell

Well well wonder how tough guy's gonna handle himself in prison. I Don't think you'll be able to threaten them with an email virus.

Melissa virus creator sentenced to 20 months in prison.

$80 Million in damages and all he gets is a slap on the wrist. Like he won't be doing it again....HA!

i dunno, if i wrote a piece of code that did $80 million in damage, i'd be like, oh F***!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> oops... then begin backing away, slowing & quietly...

He'll probably use the time in jail to try and perfect his writing skills, and how to not get caught doing it.

put him in a cell with bubba... >:-). $80 mil is a nice chunk of change, he's deserving worse than what he got

I don't think Canada's prison system is that much different than US's is it? He is not going to have a picnic that is for damn sure. Think spending even a day in in jail is bad? couldn't imagine 20 months in prison. Yes and even minimum security. Any smirk that may have been on his face will disappear. He'd better find a boyfriend for protection.

All you need to know is a little MS-Office VBA programming and the Outlook Object Library. It's not really a virus. I't a program executed by a user.
