Then there was the guy who was told to make a backup copy of his disk,
so he took the floppy to the Xerox and made photocopies...

and another true story, about the new user, who, told to 'remove the disk
from the sleeve, and put it into the floppy drive', very carefully cut open
the black paperboard 5-1/4 "sleeve", extracted the circle of magentic media
and put -that- into the computer. Needless to say, it didn't work, and they
couldn't get it back out!

And, again true, a professional acquaintance had to fly to Singapore (from
Chicago) to fix a 'down' system. It was -unplugged-! From the WALL!!
