We've got a few more "unique" strains of viruses out here in California 
(don't worry, most require a warm, polluted, overpopulated climate to 
survive) -
     
San Andreas Virus - computer shakes violently for about 20-45 seconds.  
Occasional shaking occurs randomly for the next few months.
     
Zuma Beach Virus - "duuude" gets appended to all text files.
     
405 Virus - the hard drive slows to a crawl whenever user is in a hurry.  
No effect when time is of no consequence.
     
Smog Alert Virus - soundcard emits a choking sound and monitor becomes 
bloodshot.
     
King Virus - LAPD come by and beat the crap out of your computer.
     
Simpson Virus - your computer deletes a couple of files unexpectedly,  
dominates all net traffic for 14 months and then announces that it is 
searching for another virus. 
     
NFL Virus - all data in LA is uploaded to other cities.
     
Beach Dwellers Virus - machine looks great but CPU doesn't work.  Not to 
be confused with the...
     
Valley Girl Virus - machine has all the lastest icons but CPU doesn't 
work.  Also, computer wants to go the mall, a lot.
     
Rodeo Drive Virus - Land lines no longer work.  A cellular modem is now 
required.  All periphials need to be upgraded to most expensive models 
available.
     
Hipster Virus - all data transmitted via a pager.
     
Teenage Virus - machine spends enourmous amounts of time on-line, wants 
to drive the car.  Also note that machine becomes either inactive and 
quiet OR loud and disagreeable in presence of adults.  (Warning - this 
virus not limited to SoCal!)
