I have no idea if this person is guilty or innocent in this case, but  
I will never forget when the pop-up-porn thing happened to me: it was  
1999 (yes, I remember the year). I was at work, at a computer only I  
used. I was reading a newsgroup I checked at least twice a day. I  
can't remember if I merely opened a message on the group or if I  
clicked on a link within a message, but suddenly, the pop-up porn  
started. All those windows started popping up on my computer screen  
with the most disturbing images imaginable. I was absolutely  
mortified. I'd never heard of this happening. I completely panicked. I  
almost started crying. I was so glad I didn't share an office with  
anyone, and that no one came into my office in the following minutes.  
I was also relieved that the tech support person had had this happen  
to her as well, was so incredibly understanding, and could come right  
over to fix the problem.
