TOO BAD YOU CAN'T BUY a voodoo globe so that you could make the earth spin
real fast and freak everybody out.

Last Resort, $9.95 from Working Software of Santa Cruz, California.
I met a well-known member of the trade press at the MacWorld Expo, who was overjoyed to inform me that he used Last Resort to catch his girlfriend having an affair. I was appalled and felt really bad for him, but he was pleased. I've never really understood that.
She must not have been very savvy to computers because LR went to all manner of effort to inform the user that they were being logged. There was a control panel that could stop the logging.
We called it "Last Resort" because it was aimed at writers. I got lots of grateful letters and phone calls from the authors of The Next Great American Novel whose books otherwise would have been lost.
The product was inspired by Courtney Johnson, who would become so confused if he activated a background window on his Mac, that he'd shut the power off. Courtney's son Dave was the owner and President of Working Software.

Good ol' Pascal. What would we programmers have done without it?

but yes it used Pascal calling conventions for toolbox and system calls.
There are some advantages to the Pascal calling conventions, I wish it were possible - or at least easier - to use them.

I had a keylogger on my machine for the same purpose: lost code and emails. It was also great for these buggy websites that, when you post a comment and there's an error, the whole comment is lost.
I kept it also to have fun with people that wanted to log in to their social accounts from my machine. It proved useless when they just left the acounts logged in...
