my first day ever using unix. Left with a root shell. Trying things out, learning, made a few junk files somewhere or other. I was done with that and decided to delete them... "delete everything from that directory" I think: rm * /path/towhateveritwas

now on to my tasks.. had some files to print out. Where did they g...... FUCK.

I found a box of tapes and some sunos manuals. Spent the next several hours figuring out how tar and tape drives worked. Got everything back. Never told a soul.

1992. I've never done anything so careless since.
