At any rate, have you thought about running Linux on the machine
and then running the Redmond malware under VMware?

I'm doing the opposite and running SUSE in M$ virtual PC.
At least that way my scanner works.


Hmmmm..... Never tried that. Seems like one of those inverted pyramid
puzzles.

Matthew 7:24-27 springs to mind

24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into
practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain
came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that
house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.
26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into
practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain
came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that
house, and it fell with a great crash."


Yeah, but didn't the BC BC insist that 'cos of the sand it had to have
plies?...



You would think so, wouldn't you? All of which demonstrates that regulation
does not protect against basic misadventure.

I was looking for the taxation angle, but couldn't see it - unless they had
landfill tax in biblical times of course.
