    Wow, it turns out the bugbear worm got into my school's computer network, which was supposedly firewalled to prevent this stuff
    Now all the systems are infected and none of the printers work. So much for "devastating" effects

    we got nimda when it first came out, the network was down for over a week (and i guess your's will be as well) whilst the admins had to take the fix around every computer on a disk and scan each computer one by one. Such a laugh watching them all work hard! (for a change)
