This was posted a few days ago on the TI-99/4A mailing list.
I thought a few people on here might get a laugh out of it! :)

I found this, supposedly from an IBM manual.
"All parts should go together without forcing. You
must remember that the parts you are reassembling were
disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them
together again, there must be a reason. By all means,
do not use hammer."
-- IBM maintenance manual, 1975
Now what was the line from the TI Disk Memory System
controller manual? Something like "You can break off
this tab. Then you can throw away the card."
It was something like that in the original manual I
had,
in the section on installing the card in the PEB.
Whatever happened to a bit of dry humor in computer
hardware manuals? :)
