It's that time of year.
People show up at the helpdesk with a floppy disk that contains the only copy of an important paper.
They can't read from the floppy, and, inevitably, the report is due in a few hours. Never depend on a floppy disk to save important files. At the very least, print out a hard copy that can be scanned in. If you depend on a floppy, you're going to get burned. It's only a matter of time.
