The dammed tape slots were just the right size to admit them.

We had an elderly applicant for a teaching
position who tried to use
one
of the machines in the lab. When he couldn't
find the CD drive, he
put
a CD into the 5.25" floppy drive. The
college administration morons
actually hired him for one semester! (I mention that he was elderly
only
to discount the possibility that he was too young
to be familiar with
5.25")
At the other end of the age scale... My pal Fran wondered where a few
of his CDs had gone to, until he opened his PC to change a card, and
found a stack of them. His four-year old son had sometimes "missed"
the CD-ROM drive slot, and inserted the CDs in the gap between the
CD-ROM and the floppy.
