At Uni, it was as much a rite of passage as accidentally sending the binary you'd compiled to the printer instead of the Pascal source file. I find it's generally a good idea to disable the terminal bell anyway, both the lessen the impact of mistakes like this and also to stop people from going insane when you're using vi and hitting Esc or tab completing in bash. -- Mark -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
