I'm a tech that owns my own shop. The latest phone call was from an older gent who had just purchased $2000.00 worth of new hardware. Rushing out of my store, he evidently headed straight for the local used software joint. An hour later he is on the phone wondering why this new program he bought won't accept disk #3. After going through as many steps as patiently possible, he brings his new computer back to me in disgust. He is REALLY peeved when I burst out laughing. Here is his new tower case, complete with 2 floppys jammed into the drive, and the third sticking partially out, mostly bent, otherwise mutilated, and completely useless!
Cheers, Jim

NO WAY! you actually saw someone do that! Frikkin hilarious. I've seen 2 cd's in a drive before and even a cd in a 5 1/4 but never the multiple floppies. Did you take a picture?
