I apologize if this is incredibly dumb, but if you DID want to write a
virus app for the Newt, could you do a little messing with the "find"

of the way data is stored on the Newt. And then of course charge a
monthly "virus update subscription" fee! :)

Don't forget to give them the App for free and then charge a monthly
"virus
update subscription" fee!
