That is the case in point. From what I've learned in several English classes, case in point can be used to denote an example within an argument. And that is what the paragraph was--an example within my argument.

Having said that, my example was that if you had a Windows machine, and gave people access to it like this Nutt did with his Mac, the Windows box would have been haxored to kingdom come in a matter of minutes.

The more I read about this supposed hack/break-in ("hoax") -- the worse it gets and the more apparent that it was all rigged.

Now I read that the guy who set this up (a Windows developer -- funded by Microsoft?) -- modified the original Mac OS X operating system by rolling back some of Apple's patches to the original (and underlying) UNIX (by means of another program which changed these things) -- and thus (by his own modifications to programming) made the OS more insecure.

It just gets worse and worse, the more I read about it. An accurate test of the security is being done here. It's been *way past* 30 minutes and no one has hacked it. This example is what people would really be doing. People wouldn't be making their Mac OS X *less secure* -- like this guy did by removing those patches and protections in the operating system.

See this proper test that no one has hacked --
