Its probably in here already and once a common occurance.
I needed to setup some software remotely for someone but I needed her to install pcAnywhere first. It was her first experience of a cd and I asked her to put it in the cd-drawer. After several seconds she came back to me and said she could find it. I talked her through finding the cd eject button. Down the phone I heard the drawer slide open followed by the comment "Oh, you mean the cup holder!".

and whoever mentioned it was saying that it was found painted in a cave wall in Gibraltar and was believed to date back to 12000BC.
First experience of a CD? that sounds like complete bollocks to me.

A cd tray could hold a cup if it was empty. And made of very light plastic.

I found someone that actually thought it. And you all seem to be a bit cynical about it. Is this make bullshit up page or pass on your experiences page. Tossers.
