Virus Attack. Just a few weeks ago one of our PCs was attacked by the stoned virus, a virulent strain that attaches itself to the boot sector and partition table of any disk that happens to be around. If you have a hard disk, all you have to do is place an infected floppy disk in Drive A and ask for a directory listing DIR. That's enough to transfer the virus to the hard disk from there it will infect every other floppy you place into the system.

Library Workstations as Revolutionary Tools. Computers have been described ad nauseum as having a revolutionary effect on Western society in the elimination of mundane tasks, reduction of paper records, and sheer speed in handling repetitive calculations. Although there are those who would argue with these claims, thousands of computers routinely handle everything from switching traffic signals to controlling the positions of satellites in orbit to manipulating millions of bibliographic records.
