That reminds me of preparing a Masscomp to bring out in the field for
radar data acquisition. After some minor incident, I needed to run an
fsck when a cute, slender gal came into the lab. In my flustered state
hoping to start a witty conversation I typed mkfs... Unfortunately, no
wizards around, let alone dmr, to save the day - which turned into a
very late day. On the plus side, I ended up marrying the girl.
