Does the second one work correctly? If so, the first one was prob-

ably bad; save it and take it back to the supplier for a refund. But

if the second (and all the rest) give the same undesirable results,

go troubleshooting somewhere else-the odds are that you'll never

buy a box of diskettes with more than one lemon in it.

Booting Problems?

Drive A looks exactly like drive B; the only difference is that

A is on the left side and B is on the right. However, you can boot

up only from drive A. So, pop out your software and double-check

that the system diskette is in drive A.

Or, did you remember to press the RESET button after insert-

ing a new diskette?

Bugs?

The term bugs, in computerese, refers mostly to imperfections

in software. These bugs are minor flaws that the people who wrote

the program couldn’t foresee. You usually find them by trying out

a routine in a manner slightly different from that planned by the

programmers. Instead of getting the desired results, you get

something you weren’t expecting: you find a bug.
