Yay! I'm first to comment! Well anyways, I liked the teaser. It was fun & easy.
??? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the flu, and influenza the same thing, influenza just happens to be the longer name, and I thought the macintosh and PC having the main more serious virus, and the laptop which is portable having a lesser sickness was relevant. It was good, but misleading for me. and, is a common cold a VIRUS?
yeah, I looked 'em all up.
Cool teaser . I was like duh when i read the anwer.
Great rebus! I wish I had a rebus... anyways, good job on your eighth teaser! Soon you'll catch up to swaff!
I agree with Poseidon. I thought there was something to using the long word "influenza" witht he long word "Macintosh' meant something. Having two out of three words be synonyms is a bad thing. Also you have Influenza capitalized for no apparent reason.
then get enough points to correct it.
obvious and boring
Alright, lets see you submit one.
I liked it! It was fun and well written according to me. And since the major fuss being made about the cap-ped Influenza, I just submitted the correction too. Cos that's not the major thing about the teaser to highlight in comments. Well, I enjoyed it!
Wow...This was easy...after you read the answer
I'm no good at these but this one was fun! More please!
Oh and who cares if you capped something that shouldnt be capped...I still liked it.

ez squezzy lemon pz
Cool teaser... AND I learned something! (I always thought a cold was caused by germs, not a virus. But you're right - I checked it out and the common cold IS caused by a virus!)
GREAT JOB!!
GREAT JOB!!
Really really easy, but fun in a way...And yes, the common cold is a virus. I learned that in 7th grade science

I had it as "The computer's got a bug". Must be the programmer in me.
that was cool i like it keep it up
yeha i got it *sings* it was quite easy maybe "too" not one of your better anyway. But good all the same
nice job, mr. ground beef. this one hits all too close to home for most of us.
Good one
Ditto
I get the feeling that some of these simple rebuses are nothing more than stating the obvious. I mean Macintosh .. PC who wouldn't get computer from this and influenza ..flu..cold I would have thought are obviously viruses. It leaves one looking for the hidden rebus.
