Wow, I never noticed this before either.  I took a look at my software
collection, and *every* *single* *disk* has a hole in it.  It's always
located near the middle of the disk, looking something like this:

          +--------------------------+
          |                          |
          |                         [
          |                          |
          |          _____           |
          |         /     \          |
          |        |       |         |
          |         \_____/          |
          |             ^            |
          |             |            |
          |             |            |
          +-------------|------------+
                        +---- hole is here

Has anyone else noticed this, or is there something wrong with all
of my disks?  Could this have anything to do with these "virus" programs
that I keep hearing about?
