I just got a nasty flame in another newsgroup for mentioning something
that I was told is a fact, which somebody assumed to be a joke.

The possible fact I mentioned is that floppy disk drives in France
have a window which extends from the center to the corner, rather than
the center to the side (as in the rest of the world).

I heard this several years ago, so the drives in question must be
from the era of 8" and 5 1/4" technology (though not necessarily either size).

Can anybody out in netland confirm or refute the truth of this?
