Man, am I pissed.
I'm copying the pictures I took yesterday off the digital camera:
>
```
[spc]marvin:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100OLYMP>scp * \
/Volumes/WORKGROUP\;LINUS/images/2006/0806/
```
And as I always do after transfering the images (I had assumed the pictures copied okay):
>
```
[spc]marvin:/Volumes/NO NAME/DCIM/100OLYMP>delete *
```
(in this case, delete is an alias for /bin/rm and rm is an alias for echo "This command doesn't exist"—don't ask).
[Good, but not as good as Alton's] [1] Only the copy didn't work out as expected (okay, who's bright idea was to include semicolons in Mac OS-X mounted volumes? Especially for those of us who like working at the command line?). I ended up with one (1) picture, named /Volumes/WORKGROUP. The last picture on the camera, which was of the cheeseburger I had yesterday after the movie [2] (should have used cp but mistyped).
Lost: pictures of the 50s decorated Denny's [3]. Those of Gregory, Spring [4], The Kids, Wlofie [5], some random customers at said Denny's. And two reserved spots in a parking garage protected by two of those automated arms that go up and down.
Sigh.
