WHY DO YOU HAVE TO EXHIBIT YOUR LACK OF HIGH SCHOOL AND STUPIDITY. I AM
NOT TALKING ABOUT THE FLOPPY DISK DRIVE BUT THE FLOPPY DISK MEDIA. THEY
FAIL FREQUENTLY AND ARE SUBJECT TO ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS IF NOT HANDLED
WITH CARE. OTHER THAN YOURSELF MOST PEOPLE HAVE VALUABLE DATA AND HAVE
HAD TO USE DUPLICATES AND TRIPLICATES WHEN STORING THEIR DATA OF
FLOPPIES OR RISK LOOSING DATA. SINCE NOTHING YOU DO HAS VALUE THEN YOU
WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM.


Strange ... where do you get these ideas. I used floppy disks a lot (the
old 5" really floppy ones, & the 3" not floppy ones) since the '80s
(until they became almost obsolete) and don't recall a single failure.
Maybe I'm just not accident (or failure) prone.

Yeah so? 1.44MB disk still only holds a total of 11520000 0's and 1's
while other digital medium holds a lot more.

It's not rocket science to figure out which part in any computer system

failures, mysteriously blinking lights (or no lights!), one colour

together for no reason at all, streaky text, mysterious black smudges on
paper, a pop-up notice that my cartridge is suddenly not recognized, or
"please put in a new cartridge" when I JUST DID . . . etc, etc, etc.
Any of these common problems, and there are hundreds more, ring a bell
to anyone who has ever owned a printer? And that would be all of us.

Yeah as I mentioned in another posts, I've gone through more printers
than the rest of the hardware combined. The only printers I have that
are more than 5 years old and *still* working are the HP Laserjet 4.
Now those were the good old day when printer were built like a tank,
not some cheap printer being sold nowday.

I've had floppy failures even on 5.25 inch single, odd ball atari
enhanced density, and double density. Mostly when I bought cheapo
discs... spending a dime a piece at a local computer store wasn't a
good idea, and I was none too careful about storage. But I had a
couple memorex discs bought in 1982 that were totally readable kept in
a nice binder in a box and ignored. Not that it was anything I wanted
archived, just a matter of fact.

Most of the people who claimed they had issues with disks loosing their
formating were people who kept their disks scattered on the floor.

But oddly enough i've experenced more issues with CD-R than I ever did
with floppy.

Or placing them near a magnet, or anything magnetic which I've done
once or twice, floppy's are ok if you want to store or transfer a
small amount of into.

A power supply or anything with a transformer that ctreates a magnetic
field will do the same job

Sharp has developed a 100Gb, yes 100Gb blue-laser disc...!

all the professionials know this.



Yet some how floppy diskette was the standard on the PC for 20 years.
The design is much older, the first floppy disk was created circa 1967
(Shugart) when the more compact design came out, the 5.25 inch size the
name became diskette... the smaller version of the 8 inch disk. Use of
the word "disc" is incorrect as disc is technicaly a trademark of
Philips IIRC making reference to the compact-disc aka CD. But that's
neither here nor there.

The problem is your getting your blanket statements from PC-World,
which is really dummed down for your average consumer. Floppy disks
are not the most reliable form of media,

YES YOU ARE MATT ZUKOWSKI

but if you store them properly
you can reasonably expect the disk to remain readable for 5 / 10 /
perhaps 20 years. Part of the problem PC-World writers don't seem to
understand is the same rules apply to floppy drives as other forms of
magnetic media... the fact that floppy drives do require either
maintance or replacement after extended periods of use. It's generally
reccomended that maintance/replacement is done if there is a problem.
Simply put magnetic media will magnetize the heads affecting the
drive's ability to read. The 3.5 inch disks while storred in plastic
still need to be stored properly as dirt can scrape away your data
layer. You can observe this your self by keeping one 3.5 inch floppy
on the floor and one stored in a container or a drawer.

It's a perfectly fine design for storage and like with all things needs
to be stored properly to maintain a long life, just like any form of
media. But it's rather obsolete.
