What is it with old floppies and long lifespans? Ive got piles of amiga discs pushing 20 years and they still work just fine. I buy a box of floppies from staples and they go bad after a few months.
Very true. Has anyone noticed the same phenomena with CDs? I have 20+ year old CDs that are scratched to ribbons, yet still play flawlessly. New CDs and especially DVDs, on the other hand, need to be handled with surgical gloves or they totally f*ck up.
