files?

voidmain:
I'm sorry, thought this would have been well known.  Guess it's good that m0r brought it up.  In fact on some UNIX systems "/tmp" is actually in RAM for speed. Programs use "/tmp" as a working area so being in RAM is an advantage (vi swap files, etc). It's well named. /tmp means "temporary".

Now that is the opposite philosophy that M$ uses.  "Temporary" means "Log every fucking place this luser has been".
