[NTLK] On Eve of iPad 3G, Anyone Have A Motorola Marco Newton OS Device?

[Jim Lee]

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me!  I need to write an Applescript or  
something to automate the process of floppy imaging...  there are  
literally thousands of floppies here that I need to grab data from  
before they disintegrate.  :)  Of course, I already copied all the  
critical ones years ago, but now that we live in the age of terabyte  
drives, I want to recover the last 2 or 3 decades of my life :)

I was worried about magnetic degradation/oxidization a while ago, so I  
randomly sampled about 100 of those disks and only found one with a  
(minor) read error.  I guess it depends mostly on how they're stored,  
but better not to tempt fate much longer...
