In my senior year of high school, I pieced together a cg pic that my art teacher entered in local art museum's annual contest. I won best of show, and it was the only computer generated image entered. I got alot of nasty looks and remarks from the _real_ artists, and sorta had to leave immediately after the award was given.
My school goes a little further and adds automatic hidden network shares in the disk image to allow the admin staff to access our entire computer. In the CIS course, we're provided with laptops... thing is, the laptops come pre-imaged. We're not provided with any disks at all. If we have a software problem (like all the ones we're having with VS.NET) and we need to re-install, we actually need to get our computer re-imaged. They won't even allow us to install the software ourselves! This policy even goes for the teachers.
I made one as soon as I read the post... only to discover that the top didn't fit. If anyone else encounters this problem, just try folding the thin end of the floppy cover thingy (does it have a name?) in half.

I, for one, do NOT welcome our new IT overlords.
You could always use sheeps bladders...
Wait till one of those feral dogs get a hold of this... Anyone remember Electric Dreams?
I never thought I'd be telling myself RTFM....
