	Is there anyone out there who has been unfortunate enough to
come in contact with the "ByteBandit" Virus? If so, do you have FAST
memory.  I have the "ByteBandit" virus (which I got for the purpose of
testing), and it won't work on my machine with the FAST memory enabled. 
(gives a GURU #4, at address 1902 immediately upon booting the disk). 
However, it does work without the FAST memory...  Is this true of all
the ByteBandits, or just my 'strain'?

	Could be that the best protection against the ByteBandit is
having Expansion Memory.
