This means that when anything under the kernel... including hdc, which 
is removable=true. and 'bin/cat...etc returns "cdrom" then set the group 
=cdrom and the mode= 770. This is exactly as we want.

1:   Playing with Linux.
2:   Playing with computers.
3.   Playing with yourself.... (No! Not that... deluding yourself that 
you can actually *understand* this stuff!)

Rank the foregoing in order, then consider what order your wife would 
assign to them. Compare and contrast. Papers are due on Friday morning

Well that's what it reminds you of, in part, doesn't it?  Remember maybe 
years ago, you swore/exulted that you would never write another exam 
again? Well what they did not tell you was that there may be no more 
exams, but you would get a snap quiz thrown at you \every day, sometimes 
by your boss... in a subject you had not signed up for!
