Pressing a button in Linux is too complicated

[Brian Kelsay]

I have a little adapter, that can be had for a few bucks, that allows me to put a laptop HDD in a desktop PC.  Helps for transferring files to/from a laptop without network, damaged network stack,  missing a driver, no floppy or CD, dead LCD screen, etc.   40-pin IDE to 44-pin laptop HDD connector.

In order to give it to Hal, I have to wipe the hard disk.  In order to wipe 
the hard disk, I use a floppy.  My wife's laptop doesn't even have a USB 
port, I think booting to a CD on a PCMCIA adapter would be unlikely.  
(Fortunately her CD drive still works.)

Sigh.  Some people have too much money to spend on toys.
