You must not be very old yet! Never heard of 386 SX vs DX? Single word external, 16-bit data bus vs Double word external, 32-bit data bus.
@dx11332sega I was joking earlier about bringing a virus back, it's virtually impossible for a virus to exist on Mars in dormant form that is compatible with our biology. Viruses work by reprogramming our cells to duplicate, it's impossible to evolve without having a test bed of billions of organisms with similar biology.
Microbiological contamination is more likely, still extremely unlikely since those micro bacteria still need to survive in our biology. They don't need our cells to replicate, yet need to be able to feed off us to do so. But there is a possibility that any micro bacteria brought back from Mars can thrive on Earth. Doesn't mean they are a (direct) threat to us, but still need to be careful not to mess up our planet (any further) with alien life.
Bringing back something that's poisonous to our biology is possible, but doesn't pose a threat, only to the ones handling the material. The Andromeda strain is just a movie, can't happen. (Well unless some evil aliens studied us, made a compatible virus, and hid it on Mars for us to find)
