Hi James. From my memory from the 90s. Floppy disks were either 720k or 1.4mb. Three 3MB for a floppy sounds generous. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Scholes" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ibrahim,Isn't it amazing, we'll soon have 32GB memory cards for our phones that aren't even 1 inch in size, yet a floppy disk is huge at 3.5 inches and it only holds 3MB of data.James Scholes http://www.jls-radio.com -----Original Message----- Sent by Ibrahim Gucukoglu on Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 08:06 PM Hi Colin. Firstly, nobody wants 3.5 inch floppies anymore, secondly if carol is receiving personal and otherwise sensitive material by floppy disk, the surest way of preventing access to her data is total destruction of the disk. If you've the skill, no matter how suffisticated the equipment, traces remain and determination is all that is required to recover data. All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Howard" <colin@xxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 6:13 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: What to do with 3.5 Floppy DisksGreetings,Carol, do you have an eraser, such as used for cassettes or reel-to-reel tapes? I have and if I want to clear disks, as I have a bulk eraser run off the mains, can simply put the disk both sides onto the top, press the button, cleared, disk still available to use / sell / eat / whatever you want to do with it.From Colin Howard, who lives near Southampton in Southern England. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 3849 (20090212) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com James Scholes E-mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Radio station and TeamTalk server: http://www.jls-radio.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
