Born in Pittsburgh:
Rich Skrenta, a 1985 Mt. Lebanon High School graduate, is credited here with developing the first virus for a microcomputer -- when he was in the 9th grade. The virus celebrates its 25th birthday this year.
Skrenta moved on to bigger and better things. Computer viruses continue to play a big role in Pittsburgh.
