1. This story almost made me sick |
|
I work as a network and systems engineer. One time about four years ago, I accidentally wiped out the email store for a bio-tech company that I was consulting for. I was able to recover everything except one week of emails. I was ill and I even puked with fear and worry. I cannot imagine what the person that created this mess feels.
I suspect that he feels unemployed....

Not really understandable by humans.
Besides, if it's 5.5 or 2003, you really don't have to do a thing to wipe a store. Just sit back and wait for Jet to take care of that for you. ;-)
