I just got the upgrade to MacScheme/Toolsmith and popped the 
disk into the floppy drive.  The drive jammed.  Retrieving the
disk, I found that the sliding protective cover had been 
sealed shut by a little sticker which said something like if
you break this seal you agree to the license agreement (recently
found not to be valid by the courts, incidentally).  This
prevented the drive from being able to open the slide and
jammed the drive, which now will require repair.  (Fortunately,
we have a service contract).  I just wanted to warn everyone to 
inspect the floppys from Semantic Microsystems and remove
the little stickers before ruining their drives.  This is
definitely a lame-brain idea and may rebound against the company
if more people do what I did.
