I used to work for a school engineering department. There was one professor that preferred to be called Dr. Weird. He was once burned by a computer crash and lost a lot of work that was not backed up. His solution was to swear against computers and use paper in it's place.
His office has straight out of a cartoon. It was FULL of gigantic piles of unsorted paper (one could only assume that his desk was somewhere underneath). It looked like something out of a Terry Gilliam movie. But it wasn't his fault. ;-) Dawson, Michael wrote: >I have found it is never the faculty's fault.
