	*** A TRAGEDY FROM DAYS OF OLDE ***

I was disc-ussing a problem with a co-worker when we heard a
high-pitched sound emanating from the computer room.  "Sounds
like a head crash," this co-worker said.  "Yeah," I replied.

I walked over to the computer room and got there just in time
to find another co-worker spinning up a disk.  "I think we may
have had a head crash.  I'm just spinning this disk up to see."

Oh well!  Two 50 MB diskpacks byte the dust.
