OT - I understand that they tracked down Mellisa though the unique ethernet ID in his NIC card. The ID (mac address) is encrypted into an identifier that the program stores into the windows registry (the GUID). This mac address can be compared to other windows programs that the perpetrator has released via shareware and were built on the same machine. No doubt a unique code in the PIII would have made him even easier to find.
