My preferred keyboard layout has the \ key right above the Enter key. The 
problem is those ^%%^&*^*&^&*^ keyboards that have the \ key somewhere else, and 
the Enter key is extra large and in that spot.

So guess what happens? If I want to delete foo\bar.c, I type in:

del foo Enter

Yikes! There goes my directory contents! I've done this too many times.

I freakin hate those keyboards. I always check to make sure I'm not buying one, 
though they seem to be most of 'em.
