[comp.misc] Excessive Use Of Computers?

A recent sign of the extensive use of computers in areas heretofore not
considered as needing a computer:

    One of the EEs that works here asked me for some help figuring out
    how to read a 3.5" floppy disk.  "I tried it in a Mac, but it
    couldn't read it."  "What sort of computer did it come out of?",
    I innocently asked.  "A Brother knitting machine."

Knit one, pearl two, write FAT to disk, service mouse interrupts,
knit one, pearl two...
