Writers:
I'm frustrated. Someone asked me to send them a copy of the file. Why didn't
they get it?
Here's exactly what I did:
1. I photocopied "THE FILE".
2. I 'turned on' my PC by depressing the right side of the foot pedal.
3. I tried to make sure my PC was running under windows, so I inserted Disk
1, then tried to insert Disks 2-7 when prompted.
4. All those disks didn't fit, so I gave up and just moved my PC under some
windows.
5. Through the keyboard's dustcover, I typed my friend's phone number.
6. I held the copy of THE FILE up to the monitor, and pressed ANY.
