The Bastard Operator from Hell

Written in about mid 1992, this covers a few weeks of a true Computing Administrator's nightmare of an existence. From his beginning, speeding up the backups by assigning null to be the tape device, right up until his death and subsequent resurrection and revenge. Warning: This contains violence and bad language. Quite bad language really.
