[ale] Shell Scripting -> find files *.<ext> and move them to /backup

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Hmmmm, I like the rm idea.  Once complete, I could do a final search for 
files with a .jpg, .gif, etc. extension, and make sure that I've not 
missed anything.  If I decided to do that, would it be:

find /path/to/c -iname "*.gif" -exec cp {} /mnt/mymachine -exec rm ()\;
