i'd add in high risk of trashing the machine while kernel
hacking it into a state so i can use my weird, french, but
cool, vaio(s).  i can type on its keyboard to an acceptable
[ascii] degree, but i can't back it up.  i've debugged
and written far too much unix kernel code to have a morbid
dread of booting new kernels on non backed up m/c's.

i think i've trashed two file-systems in my time, but _they_
were backed up.  those rm-03's were great.  all that removable
media stuff was great.  write protect everything in sight and
boot off a development pack.
