Almost...fumbled and got a rm <blah> /* when I meant <blah>.*.  My poor
machine was most unhappy after that.  Seemed to go south at a quick rate;
sort of like pulling the rug out from under its rubber feet.

Recovered it by performing an image backup of a co-worker's 386i and
restoring it onto my system.  Luckily, we have a server from which we 
mount the real important stuff.  I now have great respect of the 'rm'
command.
