Yes, that seems to be the favorite excuse for college students these
days. Instead of "my dog ate my homework," it's either:
* my zip disk ate my homework (entirely believable)
* a virus ate my homework (also believable on PCs)
Now that Macs are becoming more popular on campus, as well as USB
flash drives, those two excuses are becoming a bit more flimsy.
