While where on the topic, can someone please confirm that virii is in fact the plural of virus, and not just some silly neologism (like octopi)? I'm pretty sure that virus is third declension, with plural viri.
Also, I'd like to point out that Danny Hillis was the founder of Thinking Machines Corporation, not "Connection Machines". The Connection Machine was TMC's core product. One of his current projects is to build a clock that will run for ten millenia.
