My uncle's 286.... this was when a 286 was expensive..... got Playdoe
inserted into one of the floppy drives by my cousin. This is of course
when PC floppy drives were still quite expensive :-)

disk drive made odd noises... he took it in for service and the tech
extracted fragments of a Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich. Seems his kids
were playing games and eating PB&J and decided the computer must be hungry,
too...
It's not just oatmeal in the VCR...
