I was helping a friend (from Dallas, TX) get his PC to work.
Every time he would reboot, a file would be spontaneously
generated. It looked like this:

0B0B0B0B 0 3-7-48 11:11a

I was unable to read the "Bob" file. We even re-formatted the
hard disk, but the "sign" kept reappearing.

I've heard of Dobbsheads in Atari's. Is this "BoBfile" a feature
of MS-DOS ? PCs ? Maybe a SubVirus ? Anybody know what Dobbs
was doing at 11:11 a.m. on March 7, 1948 ??

It also takes about 15 minutes to format a floppy on this
machine.
