By following the instructions below, you should have error-free,
long-lasting floppy
disks.
1. Never leave diskettes in the disk drive, as data can leak out of the disk
and
corrode the inner mechanics of the drive. Diskettes should be rolled up and
stored
in pencil holders.
2. Diskettes should be cleaned and waxed once a week. Microscopic metal
particles
can be removed by waving a powerful magnet over the surface of the disk. Any
stubborn
metallic shavings can be removed with scouring powder and soap. When waxing
the diskettes,
make sure the surface is even. This will allow the diskette to spin faster,
resulting
in better access time.
3. Do not fold diskettes unless they do not fit into the drive. "Big"
diskettes may
be folded and used in "little" disk drives.
4. Never insert a diskette into the drive upside down. The data can fall off
the
surface of the disk and jam the intricate mechanics of the drive.
5. Diskettes cannot be backed up by running them through the xerox machine.
If your
data is going to need to be backed up, simply insert two diskettes into the
drive.
Whenever you update a document, the data will be written on both diskettes.
6. Diskettes should not be inserted or removed from the drive while the red
light
is flashing. Doing so could result in smeared or possibly unreadable text.
Occasionally
the red light remains flashing in what is known as a "hung" or "hooked"
state. If
your system is "hooking" you will probably need to insert a few coins before
being
allowed access to the slot.
7. If your diskette is full and you need more storage space, remove the disk
from
the drive and shake vigorously for 2 minutes. This will pack the data enough
(Data
Compression) to allow for more storage. Be sure to cover all the openings
with scotch
tape to prevent loss data.
8. Access time can be greatly improved by cutting more holes in the diskette
jacket.
This will provide more simultaneous access points to the disk.
9. Diskettes may be used as coasters for beverage glasses, provided that
they are
properly waxed beforehand. Be sure to wipe the diskettes dry before using.
(see item
2 above)
10. Never use scissors and glue to manually edit documents. The data is
stored much
too small for the naked eye, and you may end up with data from some other
document
stuck in the middle of your document. Razor blades and scotch tape may be
used, however,
provided the user is equipped with an electron microscope.
11. Periodically spray diskettes with insecticide to prevent system bugs
from spreading.
. With the recent problems being encountered by Windows users all across
the country,
people are begin to ask themselves if windows is a virus. In response to the
high
demand for an answer to that question a study was done and concluded the
following.
1. Viruses replicate quickly.
Windows does this.
2. Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they
do so.
Windows does this.
3. Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk.
Windows does this.
4. Viruses are usually carried, unkown to the user, along with valuable
programs
and systems.
Windows does that too.
5. Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow
(see
2) and the user will buy new hardware.
Same with Windows, yet again.
Maybe Windows really is a virus.
Nope! There is a difference!
Viruses are well supported by their authors, are frequently updated, and
tend to
become more sophisticated as they mature. So there! Windows is not a virus.
