As much as I am sure that this comic strip relates to the usual disorder on project drives, as much do I remember that it was virtually impossible for any new colleague to even access the P drive at all: there was just no-one who could remember the actual server address to map the drive letter to. Or grant him access.

Drive P: was my old eight-inch floppy drive after I dropped an 'INC A' into the Bios. Before that it was A: and the 5" were B: and C:, but the big one was too noisy to be the boot drive. Doesn't make sense to anyone who didn't do CP/M bioses, but that's where the drive letters came from (AFAIK).
