One day, a couple of years ago, I had a couple of harmless xterms open on my pretty desktop. I was about to clean up my ~/shit (or something, just a temporary directory), but issued 'rm -rf *' in the wrong xterm. Hey, the contents of my home directory are gone! Note to self: before coffee, do nothing. Anyway, I had the last night's backups, so there was nothing but the cleaning of underware to care about. I was also writing something, but the document was still open in LyX, so it was safe as long as LyX didn't crash (and it almost never does). -- Juha Siltala http://www.edu.helsinki.fi/activity/people/jsiltala/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
