I remember it too - I was in charge of http://apple.com at the time, and had to clean up the mess. We got lucky: successfully attacked by the worm 17 times, but our CSNET X25NET Internet connection was being flakey, so it was unable to download and start its 2nd part.

"Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men have had a really cool world-burning idea, and just want to know if it would work"
