Bunch of clever guys. Makes one consider how things have changed. Today
a flash drive, a live CD, and far less ingenuity would suffice.


Disk drives are a couple of orders of magnitude faster now, and CPUs 3
or more orders of magnitude faster.  One wonders whether there would
be time to stop the " rm -rf * " while there was still something left
to save.
