Maybe it's just me, but the subject line of your post conjured up visions of someone attempting to divine the contents of a floppy disk by the simple expedient of holding it against their forehead, Carnac the Magnificent-style. I'm sure the location given (Las Vegas) contributed significantly to the mental image, too. :) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/21/Carnac.jpg And while I can't speak for other people and their abilities, I personally cannot claim to have had even the slightest success reading a floppy disc entirely unaided. I have, however, been fortunate enough to have had access to Macintosh computers that *do* have this ability, thereby saving myself considerable mental strain. ;) (Yes, I know what you really meant and, yes, I have always had an overactive imagination.) ¬ _¬ Best, James Fraser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
