I am currently working as an undergraduate student assistant in a computer
terminal room here at UH,  and this is fairly common at the start of
semsters.  Even funnier though, is when they come to you complaining that
their terminal is not working at all...   so you go over to investigate
and then _turn on_ the terminal for them.

We have also seennew users try an insert more than one, or an improperly 
oriented 3.5" disk into a macintosh drive...
