Has anyone besides me noticed that it is EASY to insert the floptical upside
down?  Sure it spits it back out the first time, but the second time you push
it in it happily accepts it and hangs the cUbe.

Where were the mechanical engineers when this thing was designed?  Or is this
a subtle hint that later versions may allow media that IS reversible?

I predict a brisk market for the first guy that markets bright orange stickers
that say, "OTHER SIDE UP, DUMMY!"
