Haha how true. but then just about all my old DD 720K disks still work,
I think they had more dense media on those days. Most disks I look at
now you can almost see through.

I got one verbatim 5 1/4" floppy from CBM Pet days. Last time I tried
(about 1995) it still worked on a real pet, it was already many years
old then.

How about just a cnc floppy munching or throwing machine ;-)
