Someone in an Ubuntu support channel complained of data loss when he'd
run rsync with "--delete" and had the source and destination the wrong
way round. Goodbye data!

I have a Dell Latitude CPx which is quite aged, but seems pretty
bulletproof. Except for the keyboard. It repeats keys here and there,
and I'm pretty sure it's a hardware fault.
Does anyone have an old Latitude CPx or even just the keyboard laying
about that they don't need/want?
Cheers,
Al.
