I'm a techie, so I had things like a color printer and a scanner before anyone else I knew. This young guy at the office was into it a lot, he would come by and ask for tips all the time. He was big into chat rooms and downloading porn, which was a lot more complicated than it is today. He asked me about a scanner, how much they cost, etc., which was about $500 in those days, way past his budget. I knew what he was getting at, he wanted to scan nude pictures of his GF to trade with other guys for pictures of their GF's and wives. So I told him he could come over and use mine, but I knew he didn't want me to see the pics, I told him he could put the pics on floppy drives and delete them when he was finished. I would show him how to use the scanner and leave. The scanner had to be connected to a SCSI card in my PC, I couldn't just loan it to him.
He liked that idea, so he came over with a big envelop and a stack of floppies. I showed him how to scan, how to delete, he knew the rest, so I left him in my home office to work. About an hour or so later, he was finished, thanked me and left.
I guess he didn't know to delete the pics from the recycle bin. His GF wasn't a natural blonde and had some nice puffies.
