Note for microbiology/virology geeks: these are the ones that cause people
to crack jokes uncontrollably. *Retro*viruses are the ones that cause
people to believe they're living in the 70's and/or the 60's, and as a
result dress in clothing that was popular therewhen, and push "Stayin'
Alive" back into the realm of mainstream music.

<maniacal giggling>
UH-oh.
NOTE TO READERS OF THE TECHWR-L MAILING LIST: Mr. O'Connell, being in a
