Really Dumb Things you should not do with your Mac. 1. After you accidentally left those vital floppies in your shirt pocket when you did the washing, DO NOT try them out in the floppy drive of your Mac. Result: 5 hours, 1 head cleaning kit and a lot of prayer later I coaxed my drive back into life. Handy Hint, If the floppies really are that important, try them out in someone elses computer first.
