    Some folks have to learn the hard way.

    1. Don’t type in code from the internet that you don’t understand.
    2. Always have a backup.
    3. Sometimes you’re going to bork your system. Know when to reinstall, restore and move on.

      No, I did not have to learn that the hard way. I could have learned it another way. You’re objectively wrong. And you don’t always have a backup. Especially not back in 1995, when this happened. Back then, backups typically happened nightly. So even with a backup, I would still have lost a day’s worth of work.
