What more?... well, what about your nice, new, fancy report generator
which you compiled with `cc reportgenerator.c functions.o' and then tried
to get rid of the extra -o file -- and typed `rm reportgenerator.c' instead
of the correct file?  I have aliased rm to rm -i now that it's too late
(yes, I did that!), but it isn't always enough.  I have a front-end to
vi which backs up all files edited, overwriting an old backup.  The only
problem I had with it was that I was lazy, so 'vi +n file' no longer
worked, a problem which could easily be fixed.  And the backups have
saved my hide quite a few times at work.  THAT more do I need.
