Real men are probably busy doing some kernel debugging, so they've booted off a floppy to read their mail. Since they left 'cat' off to save space, they do 'mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s3 /mnt; sh </mnt/mail/root' and interpret the error messages. (Real men always run in single use mode and kick off uucp jobs by hand... crontab is for people with lousy memories and file protection is for undisciplined wimps) -- Peter da Silva, Xenix Support, Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
