While working as a software engineer for a much-too-large previous employer,
I set up software and cabling to allow file transfers between one of our PC
clones and a Macintosh sitting next to it.  I did this for my own use, but 
since I'm such a nice guy :-) I posted "File transfer is available.  If you 
have problems transferring files, call me" above the machines.

Inevitably, I received a call soon after.  I told the person I'd be right
over.

I watched as they did all the right things setting up the Mac and the PC.
The Macintosh file transfer menu came up with a list of all the files on the
PC's hard disk, just like it should.  The person turned to me and said "See,
I seem to be able to transfer Lotus 1-2-3 to the Mac without a problem.  But
when I try to run it..."
