Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  I guess IBM is guilty of not following the first

 Sigh.

No! No! No!  Didn't you notice?? Those weren't just meaningless little
cardboard boxes!!  They're diskette boxes!!  (When I was gasping in

teammates noticed the similarity in size to a floppy and tried it out
 - you can store up to 20 floppies in each box.)
