I'd often wondered about the magnetic safety of mailing diskettes.
Wondered how many diskettes that arrived unreadable were really
due to exposure to magnetic fields during transit.

Today in my mailbox was a post card from Pizza Hut. Taped to it was
a magnetic sticker, suitable for posting on your refrigerator door,
with the phone number of my local store.

Good thing no software publisher was mass-mailing update diskettes
this week, eh?

:-)
