Anyone know why modern floppy disks are such total junk? They seem to
often develop problems after only one or two writes - whereas back in
the day they were always pretty reliable.
I can't imagine the people who made these things threw out all the
decent equipment and replaced it with something made out of snot and
string. Presumably it's a quality control issue?
About 25% of Sony branded floppies seem to die on the first format,
which is nice...
Maybe it's a cunning ploy by the manufacturers to make otherwise-awful
blank CDs look better :-)
(I'm trying to remain cheerful here whilst attempting to find a floppy
that actually works 100%...)
