The computer club at my university had a micro that used cassette tapes for
for data storage. Getting a tape to load successfully usually required
several attempts of adjusting the tape player's volume control and general
pampering. One day I walked into the club office and from the ceiling hung
a mangled mass of tape and case parts. Attached to the tangled mess was a
sign: "Let this be a warning to all tapes which fail to load".
