See, my philosophy in action. Stupidity was painful for you, so you're much
more likely to be more careful in the future.
Happens to all of us. I once tried untarring Ultrix onto a Sun OS system.
Funny how the Ultrix commands wouldn't work under SunOS :) That was quite a
painful lesson for me, and ever since I look at my commands twice, sometimes 3
times before hitting that enter key :)
