Hm...whats this?

You slam the card catalog shut in disgust. It makes a loud BANG and the Techo librarian glares at you for disturbing the quiet. A bit of dust flies up off the card catalog, and an odd looking paper falls off and goes fluttering to the ground.

After apoligizing to the librarian, you bend down to pick up the piece of paper. As you touch it, you feel a faint shock, like when someone jolts you with static electricity. You pick it up and examine it. On one side, it looks exactly like a paper floppy disk, and on the other side, it looks like a card from the catalog.

Now that can't be right, you think to yourself. A floppy disk isn't the same shape as a card from the catalog! Yet somehow, no matter how many times you turn the card over, its always a floppy disk on one side and a card from the catalog on the other.

You read what it says on the catalog card side:

Jawnobe, Frederick

Computing for Wockys - SELF HELP

What to do if your computer freezes, how to use the Internet, how to cope if your computer spontaneously compusts, and many more questions are answered in this self-help book by the famous Frederick Jawnobe. Written especially for a Wocky's use, although can be used by any other species as well - including humans!
Famous, huh?
you think to yourself. Can't say I've heard the name 'Jawnobe' before. You turn the card over to the floppy disk side.

There is something written in the worst handwriting you can imagine on the paper disk's label. By squinting and moving the card alternately close to you and far away, you can make out the first few words: "I was born on a foggy morning in the..." followed by a scribble that you can't make heads or tails of.

What should you do with your strange and unexpected new find?
