THAT'S A MIGHTY FINE VAGINA YOU'VE GOT THERE, MISS

The show followed the lives of the waitresses who worked in a posh restaurant located at the top of the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, designed by John Portman. At the helm was their supervisor Nancy Beebe (Marian Mercer), who sometimes fraternized with the girls but usually gave orders. More often than not, the scheme of the week involved Nancy in some way, which upset her because all she wanted was an orderly staff. Adding to the chaotic working environment was a wisecracking pianist named Sonny Mann (Paul Kreppel). One of the many waitresses on the show was Cassie Cranston, played by actress Ann Jillian. Due to her stint on this show, she became very popular for a time.

TIA can probably be populated very easily from second-hand drives bought on Ebay.

The sad thing is that ALL modern drives have an effective erase capability built in:

but few people know that and fewer still use it before disposing of a drive.
