One of the problems is that it is not just interstate, but

And, I'll bet that was a Windows box compromised by a virus -- possibly
one injected by one of of those e-cards which have been flooding e-mail
recently, so whoever actually *commanded that system could be anywhere
in the world, and almost certainly not at the University of Crete.

Perhaps the staff is back (on Monday) and has shut down and
cleaned the machine responsible for this. (They always start something
like this at the beginning of a weekend, so there is the maximum time
before someone with the power to shut it down comes in.

Oh f*ck. If it's anywhere in Greece it'll be Monday when it
fixed......however the year might be next or the year after, or even
the year after that.
