No, I'm making the assumption that you can't know if the old tech was
malicious or not and I believe in not taking chances with business
machines. Since the old tech, well-intentioned or not and alive or not, was
apparently incompetent enough not to document his work in a clear and
easily found way, untangling the mess will take far longer than the day I
estimate it will take to make everything nice and clean and new again.
