  haha, yeah...  with github these days my more recent
projects are being backed up "off site" so i'm not too
worried about the most recent changes not being 
available to me in case of a severe crash.  but i do
also keep backups.

  Ctrl-C can also be used to cancel a command in progress.
:)  i'm not often typing dangerous commands into the 
terminal, especially one which is in an odd state.
