The computer tech people at the UofA's bookstore recommend throwing away
these plastic covers.  They claim that there _is_ a problem with static, and 
I believe it.  Whenever I get a new box of disks I remove all the covers, and 
quite often they will sort of stick together (I assume from a static charge).  
As long as you keep your disks in some sort of case or thier original card-
board box, I wouldn't worry too much about dust/dirt getting into the disks.
