Hi I thought I should note here that all of the floppies that I originally created years ago have been readable. The only issues I've had with these is that the glue used on some envelopes inner linings seeps through the lining onto the disk or the envelope has been pinch in a stack so long that the disk doesn't turn. I've heard that the surfaces will begin to break down but so far, none of my disk have shown that to be true. My floppies go back to when ever the H89 first came out ( within a year after anyway ). I'd hoped that CDROMs could at least hold up that long. It looks like I'll be disappointed soon. Dwight
