This brings up another question---I have seen many persons (me too), 
keep floppies close to the monitor.
And the monitor is turned on and off once a day.
I have done this for more than two years now, but my floppies are still
readable, so it seems that the magnetic field on a floppy is quite
strong and does not get destroyed easily.

Yet, have heard horror stories of floppies near huge loudspeakers,
or over a TV, etc, are these stories really true, or are they urban
legends?
