Floppies and reliability is just a sad topic. Back
when floppies were

its brand name expanded to "Byte Abweisende SchutzFolie" (translated:
"Byte
rejecting protective sheet") because they were _that_ bad.
And this is an urban legend since all my BASF floppies are (still) good.
They weren't worse than floppies from any other brand. Anyways, they don't
produce any magnetic media since a couple of years any more.
