The latest software bug...

Question Everything:

Are the 'Good Guys' as smart as the 'Bad Guys'?  Are those 'Good Guys' really the 'Bad Guys' in disguise, keeping us all nervous and worried and buying their latest new unguaranteed but supposedly 'bulletproof' protection programs, so they can remain rich & famous and attending all the right functions in all the right circles, while we sit here biting our fingernails to the quick and wondering if we've still got our own identities, credit, and reputations intact?
Was that too much to ask, all in one sentence? OK, let me simplify:-

Are we being screwed with by the security industry for fun & profit?

Why doesn't my world-famous and everyone's-using-it expensive security program keep me safe from all the stuff it says it can? And why am I paying for something like that if it isn't covering my porn collection and other stuff I don't want the whole world seeing?

Meanwhile, back here in the quiet village of Obscurity, one helpful hint springs to mind: increase your chances of successfully evading those 'Bad Guys' by using an operating system which isn't yet popular enough to warrant their attention - like Linux or the Unix-based PC-BSD. That fruit-flavored one once also qualified as not yet popular enough, but that's no longer the case, so the Apple cult had better take evasive actions along with the rest of us.

Maybe, my old idea of incorporating a fax machine into a computerized word processor wasn't so crazy after all. We could prepare our copy on the word processor and then hit another key to activate the fax machine for sending it,
and no Internet required. No Internet = no malware. Problem solved!
