Computers Recovering

Universities and research centers turned computers back on today after sweeping out a “virus” epidemic that infected machines across the country, a “royal nuisance” that slowed research but apparently caused no damage.

“Everything seems calm this morning,” said Bob Logan, systems manager at Caltech in Pasadena. “It’s just a lot of aggravation right now. . . . We want to look and make sure that besides doing what it (the virus) did it didn’t leave some little time bomb.”
