From the article:
"A co-researcher Richard Ford at the Florida Institute of Technology�s College of Engineering and Computer Sciences wrote in an article to Science Magazine�s July issue that the first computer virus was created 25 years ago, but sees no end in sight to malicious software."

Gmanson, please join the TrendLabs blog Here. You can enter your comments there and correct Mr. Richard Ford's research Data that was published in the "Science Magazine" on behalf of the Florida Institute of Technology's College of Engineering and Computer Sciences. I'm certain it will be included in subsequent issues as a correction...undoubtedly he would mention your name giving you credit for the find. Who knows where that could lead...he may even ask your assistance with future research papers he intends to publish.

Hey...it could happen
