DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR DISKS
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ORIGAMI:
|
|
Art of paper folding. In order to obtain a nice and effectiveness result,
|
|
put the floppy in the disk drive with strength and without pointing at all
|
|
|
|
SMOKE:
|
|
Of cigarettes or anything that could be burnt. When you are smoking blow
|
|
directly to your disk. In that way you will be able to destroy it soon,
|
|
and if you are lucky, damage the drive as well.
|
|
|
|
PIRANHAS:
|
|
If you don't have any at home, you can use a stapler, a clip, or simply
|
|
write down on the disk label with a hard point pencil or pen.
|
|
|
|
MAGNETS:
|
|
They are wonderful. You can find them in the telephone, in some paper
|
|
weights, and stuck on the frige door. If you can't find any, you can
|
|
leave the floppies on the printer or on your display for a while, making
|
|
sure that they are on.
|
|
|
|
MAIL:
|
|
Put a disk in an envelope and don't write any warning on it; then mail it
|
|
to someone, and that's all.
|
|
|
|
MAGIC TOUCH:
|
|
Touch your floppy. As much as you can. If you have marmelade or butter in
|
|
your fingers, better. Your floppy will acknowledge it.
|
|
|
|
DON'T USE ANY ENVELOPE:
|
|
Archive them without their envelope, piled under a lot of papers and
|
|
manuals (it is better when the manuals are the VAX/VMS OS 1.00 and its new
|
|
releases).
|
|
|
|
DON'T MAKE BACKUPS:
|
|
Of course, if you don't have any security copy, you won't have to worry
|
|
about how to destroy them once you have lost the original
|
|
|
|
SUPREME STUPIDITY:
|
|
It is the best way of destroying floppies. If you practice it regularly,
|
|
you'll find new methods to add to this list.
