I agree with Fred when it comes to naive users. Personally I hate those stupid
little stickers. But a moderately experienced user should be able to tell when
the disk does not slide in easily but must be forced. It was not all users
but the particluar user that I took exception with. She/he seemed to be a
very experienced user who was careless. Complaining about a company because
the individual user is careless is not too bright.
