   David, dear, this may come as a big surprise to you, but one of
the little accessories you can get with a computer is known as a
tape drive.  Can you guess what you can do with tape drives?  You
put tapes into them?  VERY GOOD, DAVID!  Now, and this is the
tricky part -- why would someone put a recordable media like, say,
a tape into a tape drive?  No, no, no, not to keep the dust out,
silly -- you put tapes into a tape drive to back up your goddamn
computer.

   Any service provider that doesn't know how to do backups and who
doesn't do them regularly on important files (like, say, the files
belonging to the customers -- you know, those troublesome people
who pay the bills) should have their Sparcservers taken away from
them.
