That reminds when I was first "playing" with U**X boxes a
few years ago.  I had set up a directory for games but decided
that was not a good idea so I started deleting things piece
by piece.  I was in the games dir and used rmdir (or
something like that) -r ./bin.  Guess what I forgot.  It seemed
to take a long time and then I realized, hit the "oh-s**t" key
and found I had deleted all my system commands up to the
letter "m".  Had to reinstall Solaris.  I turn it into a joke that
you can really get in trouble when "she" misses her period.

P.S. Now you know why I'm not in IT....or stand up comedy.
