A story of disk mutilation was told to me by an engineer visiting our site
once.  He was on the phone, trying to give a user instructions on how to use
a disk, and had finally resorted to step-by-step commands.

   `Have you taken the disk out of the envelope?'
   `Umm, no.'
   `Well, do that then and put it in the drive.'
   `No, still doesn't work!'

Eventually, the engineer had to go around and sort it out.  When he got there,
he discovered that the user had carefully cut the end off of the 5.25 disk
sleeve, slid out the actual circular, magnetic disk and put *that* in the drive.
