HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DISKS

How To Take Care Of Your Disks

My friend Ozelui works in the Computer Center of the Campus of San Sebastian
in the University of the Basque Country. And a Student wrote this in a file in
the PC's Network that Ozelui found, and here it is:

DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR DISKS
-------------------------------------------

ORIGAMI: Art of paper folding. In order to obtain a nice and effectiveness
result, put the floppy in the disk drive with strength and without pointing at
all.

SMOKE: Of cigarettes or anything that could be burnt. When you are smoking
blow directly to your disk. In that way you will be able to destroy it soon, and
if you are lucky, damage the drive as well.

PIRANHAS: If you don't have any at home, you can use a stapler, a clip, or
simply write down on the disk label with a hard point pencil or pen.

MAGNETS: They are wonderful. You can find them in the telephone, in some
paper weights, and stuck on the fridge door. If you can't find any, you can
leave the floppies on the printer or on your display for a while, making sure
that they are on.

MAIL: Put a disk in an envelope and don't write any warning on it; then mail
it to someone, and that's all.

MAGIC TOUCH: Touch your floppy. As much as you can. If you have marmalade or
butter in your fingers, better. Your floppy will acknowledge it.

DON'T USE ANY ENVELOPE: Archive them without their envelope, piled under a
lot of papers and manuals (it is better when the manuals are the VAX/VMS OS 1.00
and its new releases).

DON'T MAKE BACKUPS: Of course, if you don't have any security copy, you won't
have to worry about how to destroy them once you have lost the original.

SUPREME STUPIDITY: It is the best way of destroying floppies. If you practice
it regularly, you'll find new methods to add to this list.
