    The guy who installed my dad's IT system. We found 2 floppies stapled to a sheet of instructions on how to back up from them...

    Advice to the Indian Authorities:

    The best way to search for Hard Disks and other media is with a large and very powerful magnet.

    Make sure you download an entire copy of the Internet so you can be sure that what you find is indeed illegal.

    Oh, and bounce the computer case around a little bit on the way back to the station. It'll kill any computer bugs still in the system.

    your welcome.

    Add a construction worker and a sailor and you might end up ruining every school dance in the country.
