Do they mean that a root user typed "rm -rf *"? (Not RM* or rm *.) Who hired that guy?

In computer science, "toy" is an adjective, usually applied to "example" or "pseudocode" (eg, "toy example"), with the meaning that the (a) the example is simple and unrealistic, but has some basic features of a complicated real-world example, (b) is fun to play with (assuming you are nerdy enough to enjoy such things:-). Now, the question is: Is this a toy story about "Toy Story 2"? Too much caffeine again:-)
