Their network anti-virus software caught it before any harm was done, but it was still embarrasing (and I had a few choice words for the person who'd managed to get one of our development machines infected). Oh, yes - the polo shirt. That would be the "Lotus 1-2-3" shirt I got as part of that project. We were offered a choice of sizes: S, M or L.
