Yeah -- heard on the news the other day that the New Brunswick
provincial government told all employees to basically turn off their
computers "until the problem can be dealt with".  :-)

They've got their web site (www.gov.nb.ca) back online, apparently still
running IIS, but I don't know if they've got their internal mail servers
back online yet.  They are running the Norton AntiVirus gateway on their
public interfaces....

What an enormous waste for taxpayers who aren't generally all that well
off in the first place.
