They weren't always, and some of us USED to !

In 1975, I made two major purchases, of roughly equal amounts of money.

A brand new Volvo
A pair of 8" floppy drives

In those days, and for many years thereafter, my computer service
equipment routinely included a 'scope for setting head alignment, and I
used it a lot.

Anyone remember Dysan alignment disks ?
