That's one of the things I've liked the Mac system "up until OS-X" is
that you can't wipe out all the contents of the hard drive you are
working on by accident. It has to be a deliberate act.
You must boot either from system CD or another Hard Drive to do so.
On windows use of the Init C: command and poof! all the contents is
unceremoniously wiped off the face of the startup up drive.
On Unix its my understanding you have to login is root first before you
can do the same thing. Although I have 18 years experience on Computers
PC's and Mac's. I am still human and could accidently do something
wrong. So I like a system that attempts to save me from myself.
When I first started out I was uncomfortable mucking around in
programing in DOS even creating autoexec.bat and config.sys files.
Despite my ablities in Electronics and Hardware repair. I always felt
inadaquate trying frograming even in the mildest of Basic. I always felt
that people that had those abilities were more of the MIT types.
