Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Dedication
I once heard about a story that comes from the time before computer networking was common. Someone was writing code on two machines - one with a 3.5" floppy drive and one with a 5.25" floppy drive. They had no means of transferring the data so what they did was write out the code by hand from one machine and re-type it all on the other machine and then resume working, and then doing the same all over again to the other machine.
So tell us your tales about what lengths people have gone to because they were dedicated to what they were doing.
