I didn't believe it, but that fellow was right!  I've gotten
a few disk errors on some tan floppies, but the blue ones
hold up every time!  Be careful, folks; last time I went to a
computer store to buy floppies, they tried to palm off some
tan floppies on me claiming they were exactly the same brand
and everything; I resisted and I'm glad I did.

Buy blue floppies, let the Mac people use the tan ones.
