Matthew T. Russotto says in reference to someone not seeing any floppies die in his year as an SE owner: >A year isn't NEARLY long enough. After 5 years you will have had your >share. I have to disagree with this very strongly. I have lost an average of three to four disks a month since I bought my MacII back in '87. I have had Apple disks (seven out of the eight original system disks I had), Sony's, Kodaks, TDKs, generic Egghead software disks, whatever. This has taken place even with the five floppy drives I have had installed in my machine at various times. As far as I am concerned, floppies are Write-only memory and should never ever ever have any serious data entrusted to them. David
