Paranoid always works for me. But never apologize. The Canadians
take it as a sign of weakness.

Yup. They are like that.

I will not be invoking dd unless there is a general collapse of
the civil order, which, I'm told, may be any day now.

Excellent! I think you know what I'm going to do with this Dell.
"Don't read the manual! Wing that sucker!"
I will bludgeon the thing into submission.
It's been years 'n years since I tried to overwrite a M$ factory
disque. Should be interesting. Hopefully, if I have to rip it
out I won't bean the cat with it when I fling it across the
room. He's worth a lot more than a refurb M$ drive!
Thanks!
