Short, Sweet, and Clear
I’m often asked about other possible subjects a film-savvy technical historian guy might cover. I get a good amount of mail and conversation with this question, and the suggestions generally fall into a bunch of what-you-might-expect standards.
One which people ask me a lot about is, “Why don’t you do a documentary about virus writers and anti-virus companies?”
Here’s the answer in one short, sweet, completely accurate line: Because I do not want to be killed.
I just wanted to pass that along.

Judging from media about virus writers on the internet you’ll only be able to get interviews with children who write batch scripts and visual basic programs that deltree, anyway.
I reccomend http://vx.netlux.org/ for anyone interested in this stuff, sure Jason isn’t but others might be! And this took me some time to find
