AppleOff 1.2: Living Dangerously
 Following are dot files found on a typical OS X setup. Did you know about these files? Do you want them gone? Are you sure?
None of these are junk files - not a single one. But did you know that? And if they turned up in a list - if you had that opportunity - would you really know what to do?
Are you still sure you want to 'live dangerously'?

If you have the ADC tools installed, you can add ten more; if you have OS X 10.4 'Tiger' installed, you can add the Spotlight stores in root.
Note: these search results were obtained not by running AppleOff or any other AppleScript application but by using a far safer and simpler command line tool already installed by the creators of Unix.
