This happened when I was still working as a bookkeeper in a Pasig-based franchising firm. The year was 1996 when cellular phones were as big and heavy as a red brick and WordStar was still widely used word processing software. A newly-hired employee approached me and asked if he can use my PC to access our network printer. He said his own PC failed to boot. I said okay but I had a deadline to beat so he better work fast. "Don't worry. I've already finished encoding and saved the files here in my hard disk yesterday", he replied. I thought that I didn't hear his response clearly so I asked him, "Where did you say you saved your files?". "Here in my hard disk", he replied while pointing to his brown envelop. Still puzzled, I stood up to let him use my PC. Wasting no time, he pulled out a 3 ½" 1.44 MB floppy disk among the 5 ¼" diskettes inside the envelope and inserted it into the drive. The case of the mysterious 'hard disk' solved.
