About floppy disks
Floppy Disks
A floppy disk is a magnetized disk
that
can
store
up
to
400
single-
spaced
pages
of
text. Every floppy disk is
enclosed
in its
own
pro-
tective cover.
The
front
of
this
cover
is smooth,
while
the
back
has visible seams. You should always place labels
on
the
front
of
the
cover, at
the
top,
so
that
the
label
doesn't
touch
the
magnetic
surface
of
the
disk. It's also a
good
idea
to
use a felt-tip
pen
when
writing
on
labels - a pencil
or
ballpoint
pen
can
damage
the
disk
if
you
press
too
hard.

moisture, magnetism,
and
extreme
temperatures. Be
sure
to
label [
each
disk you use, since labels help
you
identify
what
files
are
on
the
disk and
remind
you
that
the
disk has information
stored
on
it.
