Friend of mine was a researcher. He had an AT at home with two floppy drives that he installed himself. There was a tiny space between the two drives. One day he comes home and finds that he forgot to lock the door to his study and his FOUR year old son got in. He sees before him utter destruction, diskettes everywhere. He picks up all the disks and sorts them and is missing four. He asks his son, where are the other four? His son points to the disk drives as any good four year would. But both drives are empty. MY friend tears the house apart looking for the disks, even looking in the other baby's dirty diaper bin. Nothing. A week later he gets a call from his father in law for whom he had installed a small business system. It seems a secretary had lost a disk in the machine. He goes to take a look and sure enough the secretary had stuck the disk into the space between the two disk drives. He opens the system and there is the diskette lying on the motherboard. He rushes home and sure enough his four year old had done the same thing! dsc
