Fun because they don't just report on the virus - they interview geeks, and insert random clips from retro videogames and TV movies to illustrate what a virus is. Remember, this was 1988!
P.S. I recorded this original broadcast in 1988 directly off the air when I was a student at MIT (that's me in the blue plaid shirt at 0:54, more 80s style at 1:05). I didn't personally know the people who are interviewed, but some of them were familiar faces in the computer lab. less
