A GARBLED UP DISK
Caring for
your disk
might seem a little
awkward
at
first.
It should.
You've spent most
of
your life
protecting
your
papers and now you're
dealing
with a different
medium.
After awhile, though,
protecting
your disk
from
dust and magnetic
devices
will seem as
natural
to
you as protecting your
papers from a strong
gust
of wind. And
once
you get used to keeping
your
disk "ungarbled," you'll never
want
to go back
to
pencils and paper again (we
hope).
