That's not something I'd feel confident to explore, Paul.

it's meaningless.

How would YOU look for a rootkit an an Apple computer?

these days, one can't be too careful, thus an sem is mandatory, ideally
fortnightly or less to prevent the spread to other nearby computers,
given that r0 is incalculable.

False. I don't believe you know. :-(

I've been advised that such forensic examination of a machine could take
a very long time and be VERY expennsive.

you claim to have opened every single file on a windows 95 machine
using a text editor, of all things, so clearly you have plenty of time
to spare (not that anyone believes such rubbish).

It wasn't simply a "claim" - it is the truth.

it's bull****.

Nope!

first of all, your claim that every printed page is secretly being sent
to hp is utter lunacy.

Prove me wrong.

second, your claim that opening every file on a win95 system in a text
editor, of all things, was proof is even more ludicrous.

It's exactly what I did. I found plain text in amongst the gobbledegook
in many files I opened in this manner

*which* file and *what* anomaly did you supposedly find in it that led
you to believe such rubbish?

It was in 2005 - I cannot recall now. (But I may still have notes)
