Fan, USA Editor's reply: Mr. Fan's suggestion that computers should count years by the Chinese sexagenary cycle of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches seems impractical, as to facilitate communication, computer languages need to be compatible internationally. Furthermore, since computer viruses are written in computer code, they are not directly related to culture.
編按：根據范先生之建議，以中國陰曆天干地支為電腦紀年，似乎更不可行；況且電腦語言最好是國際通行，方可暢通無阻，更何況病毒乃以電腦語言寫成，與文化無關。
