megabyte is your typical computer virus. guy wants complete and total control over mainframe. nothing particularly special about him until he somehow acquires shape-shifting abilities and becomes a trojan horse virus.

hexadecimal is rensenware or youareanidiot. annoying, but extremely unlikely to actually harm your system unless you piss her off, in which case it's your fault

daemon is like the y2k bug. could she have destroyed the entire infrastructure of cyberspace? maybe, but she was stopped before that fully happened so who knows. same w y2k

#reboot #reboot 1994 #well. daemon is the y2k bug in that that was around when the script was written #in practice she was more like the michaelangelo virus in that infected systems laid dormant until a specified time #(march 6th in the case of the IRL virus)#and then when that timer hit zero it immediately caused a huge amount of damage that most users couldnt easily fix
