Back in the old days, when in college, I always suffered with these disks. I always kept my disks in a special case. Whenever I handed a teacher a homework, I handed him/her 2 or 3 disk with the same info. Somehow, sometimes, all of the disk had gone bad at the worst time.
And to make thing worse, I had this female classmate who used ONE disk for all her works. She even kept it her hand bag, along with her food and make up. I saw her once, blowing off some make up dust from HER ONLY DISK. It worked flawlessly for 3 years.
PS: I once tried to damage a disquete using the fridge magnet, a car speaker magnet and many other magnets, to no success.
Patoloco, when I started uni they made us hand in our software assignments on two floppy disks and a full print out in a big envelope, just in case. At some point half-way through uni (six year course) usb drives came into use, and I couldn’t believe how bad we actually had it before.
I’ve tried to destroy a disk with a strong magnet one time. Was not successful at it. So I just pulled the cover back and poked a hole through it with a letter opener.
Oh, jeese. The good old days of magnetic disks.
Hope there wasn’t anything important on it.
