        I think to remember that at the end of 1994 someone introduced in
many AMI bios code to send to the speaker the song "Happy Birthday",
specially in November 13. It was annoying, but not destructive. If you
can't remove the virus with an antivirus, perhaps that episode repeats
again, and you would need to upgrade the bios.

  Starting point:        (-1)^(-1) = -1
  Applying logarithms: (-1)*ln(-1) = ln(-1)
  Since ln(-1) <> 0, dividing:  -1 = 1     (ln(-1) is complex, but exists)
