Before I transferred out of Georgetown, I used to work as repair technician/
customer support guy at a systems integration house in Rosslyn.  One morning,
a customer called demanding to know why his brand new 3.5" floppy drive 
wouldn't work with any of his files.  After about half an hour of talking
him through "drive not ready" messages, I asked him whether the metal slide
on the disk he was using might be jammed.  "What metal slide?" he replied.
It turns out that he and his assistant had spent the previous afternoon
cutting their old disks down from 5.25" to 3.5" so that they would fit in
their snazzy new drive with four times the storage!
