Our NT machine lost half its hard disk so we ran the F-PROT virus
checker on it just to be sure and saw this annoying message:

 "This program is considered too old to be of use.  It will probably only
 detect a fraction of the viruses that exist today.  We consider it
 irresponsible to allow it to operate, as the chance of missing viruses
 is far too high.  Please obtain and install an up-to-date version."

My first thought was "!@^#%$", since the software was less than
six months old, but then I checked the date on the computer:

 "Sun 25-10-2065"

Oh.
