I was teaching the computer operator of this company how to do backups
on a Unix machine: so I showed her the appropriate tar command. This
used /dev/rmt0h as the destination. Then I went on my honeymoon, and
while I was gone, she managed to type /dev/rmth0 one day. She couldn't
figure out why her disk was full!!!
