Quote - Talking of terminal have you ever done something and have the computer chat to you and say things like, be careful you could wipe your hard drive, be respectful of other people's things, and above all remember that with great power comes great responsibility? I can't remember the exact wording now, but it was pretty funny and scary too. I was doing something in terminal and the puter suddenly started conversing with me. Love esther
I have, and do... a lot :) "Respect the privacy of others" and "Think before you type" are usually what shows up on the screen when you're trying to elevate your privileges w/o any pre-set permission to do so (e.g. typing "su", which stands for "SuperUser" ). *nix people tend to have a pretty good sense of humor about stuff like that, and OSX is rooted solidly in BSD UNIX. :) /P
