25 years, no way! The SUN workstation-wielding guy in the lab next door to me got hit by this, though we were unscathed. Periodically you could hear him yelling through the wall. Amusingly (in hindsight), I had recently cleaned up a bunch of virus-choked PCs in some student labs and because of this fell under departmental suspicion (very briefly) of having something to do with these new problems. From then on I left such thankless scut work to someone else. Another interesting -though brief- account appears in the epilogue of Cliff Stoll's "Cuckoo's Egg" (itself a classic tale from the early Internet days).
