Computex press room hit by Microsoft worm

THE COMPUTEX press office is filled with hacks from all over the world and they're all gnawing their knuckles because their news editors are shouting at them to file their stories.
But the problem is they can't, because the rather nice looking Shuttle boxes and Shuttle monitors don't give no satisfaction.

It's not the fault of the hardware though. A worm has obviously struck the network, as we found out when we plugged an Ethernet cable into our notebook to see our firewall shouting "help, help".

So I suspect you're wondering how we filed this story then? There are plenty of wireless networks here but few are open to the public. We rang the copy taker at INQ HQ, and she set the whole story in print down on the hot metal press in the basement.
