If what you're referring to here is an auth diskette for JAWS 4.0, mine is
just as old. How old the diskette is isn't an issue. I've heavily and
lightly used diskettes, some for over 10 years and some much less. I'm not
going to get in arguments over NTFS format vs. FAT32 on this. If an
operating system knows how to write to and read from a particular format,
and the OS doesn't have some issues with writing to or reading other
formats, then the format of the hard drive vs. the format of the diskette is
irrelevant here. It becomes a case of diskette drive alignment, equipment
condition (or how the diskettes and the computer are maintained), along with
defects in materials and workmanship that can result in diskettes. I've had
brand new boxes of diskettes that don't hold up as well on old or new
computers whereas other diskettes were fine for many years. Isn't the best
thing to do to quit arguing over how old diskettes are, or what format
they're in, and just replace the diskette rather than FS giving the customer
a hassle and arguing with them, or charging them so much for it? You'll
never convince me it costs any $10 to mail a diskette. This is my last post
on this topic, because some people are never convinced no matter what is
said, and I think I've run up against one of those here. Who cares who's
right and who's wrong on this, just quit arguing about it FS - fix the
customer's problem, send them a new diskette at no charge and move on and
quit being such a hassle about such a simple thing.
