WHAT??????

Do you mean to tell me you're not still using Netscape 4 or whatever Dark-Age browser you had for so long?

LOL

I wondered if Ashton was going to be able to provide a screenshot of what it looked like using Netscape 3.0. :)

Well, one planned assault went haywire

(3 folks with 3 Pee Cees in same room - social resched.)

Thanks for offer - still 12 left; been lazy about a RSVP on the overhead for that golden pile, but haven't forgotten (they all say).

Yer MAAD - but yer a Prince :-)

Ashton rm -r

PS - think it was moz 1.0.1? I replaced with 1.2.1
I keep finding new toys / menus; hell I might even write a script.
Gotta steal another e-Machine though, so I can get Herr Knopper in proper HD form such that I really Could screw it up | It's the Challenge, you see...

OT: Ashton, you need to fix that command...

rm has been updated - you're running the wrong options. It should be:

rm -rf /

Enjoy!

After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."

Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Ah.. OK - guess it needs a defrag anyway..

Guess I'd better test it on zIWE machine (and that neat ssh-thingie) just to be sure I've got it right. Charity begins at /home.

Re: OT: Ashton, you need to [horrorshow]

Some years back I went to a (pre- the name) blog wherein just such Handy Advice was given to a pestiferous cluless a-wonk; one demonstrating by the nature of his question that he should prolly not be driving anything larger than a kiddie-car (Sinclair?). Was given a lengthy command to try to fix his "problem", which contained a similar incantation (I tend to memorize the Dumb-stuff first)

He Did It.

Then the dialogue began..

You told him WHAT?

...

And, he DID IT?

... Jeez
Oh. Oh.. Oh SHIT!

Bad Geek / Bad Bad

Well.. who'd a thunk HE'd DO IT ??!?

Well, can he ... Oh damn, it was hda- 0 ???
Why did you Tell Him THAT..

Geez I didn't think he'd..

BTW - IIRC, twas *your link* to that little contretemps.. ;-)
uh huh uh huh huh huh

[Thanks fer yer confidence that.. I might know Shit, at least {cackle}]

Too gadgety: I'm back on Mosaic

AAMOF.. I had moz in BETA (.98 IIRC)
How's that for bleeding edge?

And what sold me was - the sucker seamlessly imported a Lot of mail files and bookmarks. Just like *that*. Rarely crashes; never lost me anything I wanted to keep.

Some of us sacrifice goats.
Me, I don't "up"-grade. Another casualty of the English language from Redmond is: the word-fragment, up-.
