My former boss at Software Productions (we wrote kiddie software for home
computers under the Reader's Digest label) put a story in an early
version of the docs of how he fired up his Apple ][ to run CP/M and the
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...
