Bill,
Say what? When did I ever even suggest such a thing?
1. Changing the time and date stamp on a file is something I do
quite regularly, so even suggesting I didn't know such a basic
thing is ludicrous!
2. In order to accept your "Two different versions of Opus"
evidence, we have to accept major differences in the implimentation
of the FTS0001 standard in each!
3. To imagine this was accomplished and still maintain the exact
same byte count boggles the imagination, I am willing to bet the
only way it could be accomplished is by direct attempt by some
mysterious programmer with a sick sense of humor and extreme
talents!
4. Now then, the real question, why the heck would any
programmer of such immense talents waste his or her time
performing such a stunt, one that at best could result in an
argument in Meadow, when they could be out there destroying
systems all over the planet, meaning the same goal of other such
hackers of such stature?
5. I repeat, what's your wager? I am not averse at all to
making a buck or two here, so let's make sure that I, who you
seem to think is so stupid, understand this quite well. You
think Stu and I have different versions of OPUS.EXE, right? Let
me get Stu's OPUS.EXE, swap it with my own on a random, unknown
to you basis, and you tell me when I'm running which, ok?
Bill, the byte counts going to be the same, the behavior is going
to be the same, and the difficult thing is going to be for me to
remember which is which! If you don't want to risk any money,
we'll just go back to my old bet, if you can tell any difference
at all, I'll eat a bug!
Willie
... Even if you're not the lead dog, the view can be interesting!
