I imagine Chris would mention the time I wiped the Linden computer. Completely. Totally.
In spite of the computer's protestations.
'Are you sure you want to delete?'
'Yes.'
Are you absolutely sure?'
'Yes, I just told you I did; now do it.'
A pause then 'Just let me be clear: you definitely want me to delete this information?'
'YES! Now do it!'
And afterwards, Chris saying, 'Well, we can reload the programs and I assume you kept back-ups of your files.'
'Um.'
'You did keep back-ups?'
'Well, I will do in future!'

My two favourite computer safety checks date from the early days of Unix :-
"Do NOT delete all files (yes/no)?"
I got so scared I pulled the plug!
Shutdown!
"System shutting down. Continue (yes/no)?"
Does that mean with or without the shutdown?
Shorter happier comment.
Pay attention to further warnings--every one.
I suppose that should also mean read the User Agreement. Sigh.
