I had a more amusing bug. I printed a document in MS-Word, then
returned to the finder. I then option-1/2 ejected the SE's floppy
(HD+floppy SE). But the icon was still on the screen, so I dragged it
to the trash. The Mac complained, saying "Please Insert Your Floppy
Disk xyz". I then inserted it, the SE wrote on it, and the icon
disappeared into the trash.
BUT my floppy was still in the machine! It hadn't been ejected
(properly) So I hit option-1/2 again to get it out. The disk ejected,
and then a dialog appeared with the real shocker:
"Please insert the disk HD-20 SC"
I scratched my head and rebooted the sick! sick! sick! machine.
