This is in response to the person with the stuck floppy.  This is going to
sound really weird but:
One day a floppy of mine got stuck in a Mac Plus at work.  I tried all the
usual ways to get it out (paper clip, reinserting the disk and re-ejecting).
Just as I was about to track down a Mac Openin' tool to do some surgery, a
co-worker suggested turning the Mac upside down and ejecting.  I laughed but
tried it and VOILA! Out popped the disk! Strange but True!
