A joke virus warning from 30+ years ago. X Window was (and still is) revolutionary.

X Window System virus warning! This joke notice from 30? years ago describes X Window as a virus that escaped from MIT and infected DEC. "Ultimately DEC and MIT must be held accountable for this heinous software crime, brought to justice, and made to pay for a software cleanup." pic.twitter.com/sg9P1nbONl
