subject: Dad, what does this mean?

Hello Alan,

>> How many dads have had a child come to them ask ask "Dad, what does
>> formatting drive C: mean?"?

> I've seen a tagline like that.

Me too. 

>> I for sure know of at least one dad. :-)

I had a daughter come to me back in the plain DOS days and ask me that question.

> Wasn't the format option on right click menus at one time?
>I just double checked.. ;) and all the mkfs options are in /sbin, safely out o
> reach of the average user. :)

I have safeguarded any PC's usable by people other than me to prevent such
occurrences.

Haven't quite figured out how to safeguard PC's from myself. :-)

Jeff
