History question, Morris worm

and what's more fun, when they come back up on jan 3 or whatever, they will have whatever y2k problems then.

I recall after the Morris worm hit the Internet, reading a report sites which unplugged their ARPANET connection were down longer than sites which remain connected and got repair information over the net. Does anyone else remember that, and knows a citation for the report (or news story) I'm recalling? Thanks.
