It doesn't go in. (Though it might with a good hammer :) ) For those with inquiring minds, neither will it go in sideways, frontways, or folded-in-half ways.

One fellow really went at it and produced a nice piece of software. At the awards lunch at the end of his session he proudly walked up to his mother, handed her his disk and said "take care of this for me". She did. She folded it in half and put it in her purse. We had to pull the kid off her... Thanks for 3.5" Apple... bill
