I sometimes think that out there are primitive bots, that have been long forgotten. The live in some stolen computer space, spread into odd little nooks and crannies and send their spam, or gather their info, or tie up ports or whatever their original task was… and their creators have long since moved on.

I think of all the dead websites, and orphaned files I’ve left across the net, and I can just imagine the amount of ‘hacker’ crap that must be out there, as all computer programs do, running on and on until someone tells it to stop, or it physically crashes.
