The variant I saw listed Australia as the point of origin, and emphasized
that the drive had "4X" written on the front ("4X" is the abbreviation for
a popular brand of Aussie beer, apparently).
Actually I've only seen one variant so far, listing Novell as the source,
and after four years of doing hotline tech support I'll believe almost
anything.
