I've had it! I'm always getting bad sectors on my 1.44 disk! They format fine,
but when I put stuff on them, I'm screwed! I've tried name brand disks and even
they can go BAD! IS there an alternative?

I guess it'll cost too much to buy a MO drive, so maybe a tape drive? How
reliable ARE they? Can they last a month without data loss? Anybody got a WORM
drive they want to donate? :)

Maybe it's just me, but how are your floppies holding out? No, I'm not living
next to a power station. Thank you for any input.
