From: Billy <BRACKENRIDGE@USC-ISIB> The tall tree holiday edition of their newsletter advises that to avoid Jfatalities don't drink and mess with your disk drive durring this holiday season. I entered the command: JET A: C:/ECHO Now this was suppposed to copy the contents of the A: drive into the subdirectory ECHO. Unfortunately I should have typed: JET A: C:\ECHO Henderson's idiot parser interpreted my command as: JET A: C:/E which as the more observant of you may have guessed means erase C disk before copying the files. Of course I hadn't backed up important files for six weeks. This afternoon I am recovering from a substantial hangover. -------
