Which it was.  Only a freaking idiot does partitioning and such on an
"important" machine without the knowledge that such things have the
ability to cause data loss, especially when you don't know what you're
doing.

Perhaps so, considering that the MAC comes with the OS pre-installed, so
this situation would not have come up.

However, even a Mac Moron like yourself must admit, that if the cretin who
started this thread would have attempted the same thing, but using
MacOS instead of Linux, the result (data loss) would likely have been the
same.
