A couple of good things about Nimda from my point of view :-

* The evaluation of Exchange is now very definitely on hold, and could
  well stay there pernamently.

* People using Outlook have been told to stop using it, or they'll
  have their connections yanked.

The network manager keeps pointing east and saying "See what happens 
when you use Microsoft products" (there's a University down the road 
that's almost totally off the net).

Don't know about the paper airplane demo, but if you haven't already 
had a look, there should be some demos associated with the IRIS 
Performer stuff which comes with the full IRIX CD set. Some of those 
demos could be interesting.
