While I'm waiting for my flight from the pretty high tech and green Arlandia airport in Stockholm, that's a good start to rewind the clock and go back to the 80s. I must admit, at this time, I was at little too young to understand the technical details behind the first digital living organisms created by coders: the first computer viruses.

A few days ago, while discovering the amazing country of my friends from Dead Hackers Society, I was reading a pretty interesting blog article called Computer Archeology: Exploring the Anatomy of an MS-DOS Virus and it gave me the motivation to so something similar but for the Atari ST.

That's a long time I did not code on any Atari computers, so my 68K skills are pretty rusty but... that should be fine. And to start I tried to find resources on the Atari ST viruses and in fact, except the pretty interesting STNEWS diskmag UVK book from Richard Karsmakers, there is very little resources, some introductions in magazines but that's mostly all.

So this blog may be not be totally useless after all!
