Thread, "Anthrax found in Nevada Microsoft subsidiary"

As if high-tech hasn't been battered enough with issues, now this:

"Microsoft subsidiary in Reno, Nevada, tested positive for anthrax in a third test."

The envelope was originally mailed, with a check, by Microsoft Licensing to a vendor in Malaysia. The check was returned in the envelope, and officials became suspicious when some pornographic images were also found in the envelope, authorities said.

State epidemiologist Dr. Randy Todd said there was no powder in the envelope, meaning it would be difficult for the bacteria to become airborne.
