the *FUN* way to create files

i realize this started as a joke and all, but i couldn't *belive* all the 
strange & relatively complicated ways people create files.  do it the fun, 
quick, exciting, life-in-the-fast-lane way, use touch(1).  for example:

prompt: touch afile

if 'afile' doesn't exist, touch creates a zero length file called 'afile'.

touch is a terrific command becuase you can 'touch' many interesting things. 
compared to most commands, it's simply read well.  "touch hiswife" etc.  
amaze your friends with new computer lingo: "yep, i was touching jimsthing
at work today..."

i hope this solves the "easiest/best" way to create a file problem.....

	take my code, please

ps: touch -c does NOT create the file if it doesn't exist, just updates access 
and/or modif. times.  see man page for more exciting details!
