True story: There's a senior accountant at a very large accounting firm
in Tampa (I won't mention which), who worked with computers all the time
(accounting, you know). He actually believed that a printer cable had to
be hooked to a printer, or else the bits would come out the end of the
cable and get lost. I kid you not.
