Edwards shut down 
    
Computer systems at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., were shut down
this week as a result of the "Blaster" computer worm.
    
The desert base is home to the Air Force Flight Test Center, which
conducts work on the B-2 and B-1B bombers, the airborne laser, the
Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle, the new F-22 Raptor jet fighter,
the Joint Strike Fighter and other high-tech weapons.
    
"We stopped access to our base computer network Monday about 2 p.m.

getting our system back on line."
