On the same theme but much older Users. I used to work for a company where
we wrote software that retrieved Credit Reports from the Credit Bureaus and
also reported info to the same for banks and finance companies. This was
back when some were starting to convert over to 3 1/2" drives in their
systems.
1). The VP of the lending dept, of a fairly large bank in Delaware, called
because he needed new disks sent because the machine ate the 3 5 1/4" disks
we sent him with the software, while he was installing it. It kept asking
for the next disk and never gave any of them back. He claimed he never
received a Disk 2 apparently. All were neatly stacked in the case.
2). Another lady called because the update disk we sent her was defective.
We sent her a 5 1/4" Disk and she cut it down to fit in her 3 1/2" drive and
stuck it in there.
