Grinding is what normally makes a match burst into flames. Kids, don't try this at home (or even at work!) Actually, if I were going to booby trap a floopy, I might investigate the curious properties of ammonia and iodine. Ah, the halcyon days of youth :-) Paul - -----Original Message----- From: Julian Thomas [mailto:julianthomas@terra.es] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 11:45 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] WAS: Leica Users digest V19 #177: THE PAIN IN THE ASS MESSAGE! Try a filter ted. I knew a computer engineer once who said that a disgruntled employee at a firm had applied a mixture of ground match heads and shotgun powder to floppy disks. Put one in each of the machines on his floor. Next days when the system booted up umpteen PC burst into flames.
