- Maybe I'll ftp my .login, .cshrc, and .mailrc from ra to pizzabox. Wonder
- what weird things I have in those files that might upset pizzabox. I sure
- would feel bad if I caused pb to explode or something. I never worry about
- causing ra or isis to explode because when I asked FWP when we first got
- them (or first got ra) whether I needed to worry about wandering into
- restricted areas or messing things up, he told me I didn't know enough to
- do any serious damage and that there was nothing I could break that he
- couldn't fix. I've been wandering happily ever since. For a while it
- was my goal to find some place he had failed to set permissions on properly.
- Finally I gave up on that. And that made me feel pretty good. I like
- being on a machine that keeps firm locks on the appropriate doors -- like
- on the door to ~maynor.
