I'm inclined to think that this was created from someone's imagination
as well.  One point, though...  I currently own 3 CD players, and none
of them have loading trays like those commonly found on PCs.  So the
fact that they've probably seen and used CD players would not necessarily
tip them off.  Posessing more brain cells than fingers would, however,
be sufficient under most circumstances.

Yes.  Every time I think "nobody could be THAT stupid", I think back
to my days at the Boston U. help desk.
