The last one though, surely that can't be true!!
When I was a repair tech at Hewlett-Packard, I was talking with one of
the lady techs on my line. Her boyfriend also worked for HP, as a field
repair engineer. She told me what happened to him one time:
A customer was losing data on a 5 1/4" floppy. It happened regularly,
every weekend. The floppy drive was one of the stand alone models, an HP
9125S, I believe. Not much to it. Case. Power supply. Controller board.
Disk drive. He wound up replacing everything except the case, but the
problem persisted. So he requested to watch the customer go through the
weekend shut down routine. The customer shut down the computer, printer,
monitor, and disk drive. Then popped the 5 1/4" floppy out of the
drive...
...and pinned it to the metal file cabinet with a magnet!
