I once worked at a company that released a version of Unix on a series of
7 floppies for installation on micros.  These micros tended to be sold into
doctor's and lawyer's offices where there were never any computer literate
folk (and the vendors were always scarce when the end user's needed them).
Hence we had many amusing phone calls on our 800 line placed by secretaries
trying to load Unix.

One afternoon the following awaited us on our return to lunch:

"I'm following your instructions exactly, and I am still having a problem.
I have placed floppies 1 through 6 into the floppy drive, but I can't
stuff floppy 7 in no matter how hard I try!"

Our directions said "Insert next floppy".  We forgot to say "Remove
floppy and insert the next".

We spent the rest of the afternoon seeing how many floppies we could stuff
into a floppy.
