Interestingly, all the floppies I own have gradually stopped working. 
Almost every single one of them now regularly has bad sectors or 
suddenly shows up as "not formatted". I guess because they're so old now...

And yet, I have CDs purchased in the time before you could purchase 3.5 
disks in shops. And they're still in mint condition. (But then, they're 
optical, not magnetic, so...)

As I said note... What the **** do they make the actual disk out of? 
Because man, it's unbreakable! They should make shopping bags out of 
that stuff!!
