Akin to Joe F's Eastman instructions, an external IOMEGA ZIP drive came with the instruction:

"Consult the Installation and Operating Manual on the ZIP disk enclosed with the drive before beginning installation."

It turns out that if you connected the drive before installing the driver, the then-current Windows installed a default driver that totally f***d your new drive; but the only place to get the driver was also from the ZIP disk.

(This was before most of us had an internet from which we could download helpful stuff.)

Having recently moved, I've received a few "confirmation of change of address" letters.

About half of them have been sent to the NEW address, so that - quite obviously - someone who submitted a fraudulent change for me would receive the confirmation letter, and be able to "confirm" the fraud.

Half of those who sent the confirmation letter to the new address informed me that "if this change is correct no action is required." I suppose it's foolish to assume that if the new address wasn't correct (in which cae I would never receive the letter) I probably would take no action(?).
