A couple of weeks later, Elaine said she’d allow me to come in and transfer my "personal" files to floppies, which of course meant all my source code riches from the recent hacks. She sat with me while I did it, and looked concerned when she saw that I was deleting each file after saving it to a floppy. To throw her off the scent, I created an "Eric" folder on the computer and moved each file there instead of deleting it. Later I’d somehow have to either connect to the computer remotely or slip into the building to wipe all the files in that directory.
