"Computers were first able to partition OSes in 2006. Before then, the process was mostly manual. Partitionologists would drive across the nation in A-Team vans, offering their services to homes and small businesses. It was customary to leave a 5.25" floppy to Ol' Saint Partie on your door during Magnetaka, the partitioning holy week. When computers could do this themselves, all the nation's partitioning experts were sent to Iowa, via the so-called "Trail of Donuts"." (bss)
