25th Birthday of Virus

First thought: "25 years? Aaaah I'm old!"
Fortunately I still regularly get the feeling I had back when I wrote cloner.
"Why did I do it", a reporter asked. "Was it malicious?"
No, not malicious. It was a practical joke combined with a hack. A wonderful hack.
Back then nothing was networked. We had these computers in a lab, and there was software for them on floppy disks. You stick in the disk and run the software. Simple.
The aha moment was when I realized I could essentially get my program to move around by itself. I could give it its own motive force, by having it hide in the resident RAM of the machine between floppy changes, and hitching a ride onto the next floppy that would be inserted. Whoa. That would be cool.
Insight without implementation is worthless, so to work I went.
Elk Cloner: The program with a personality
It will get on all your disks
It will infiltrate your chips
Yes it's Cloner!
It will stick to you like glue
It will modify RAM too
Send in the Cloner!
