Remember the old adage of "a bad workman blames his tools?" Same is true of coders. Remember a bad coder can write bad code in any language. A programming language should not act as a crutch for bad programmers but as a useful tool for a good programmer.

@grumpyoldtechie @alicemcalicepants fsdb to the rescue. Of course this was way before ZFS etc. Yes it really messes up a Unix fs!

@alicemcalicepants That reminds me of the time BNR up here connected their unix machine to their macs and ended up with '/' in the actual filenames.

@kenshirriff Cool.I remember when they had to sell them in a matched set because of a NMI bug in the 8088. We discovered that bug the hard way at Dynalogic. ;)

Nice to see mfsBSD for FreeBSD. Pity it has taken this long though. OpenBSD has had it for years, I remember installing SUNOS with a MFS BSD as well. ;)
