Summary: Does it exist?? Keywords: data loss bad yuck! Message-ID: <9943@boulder.Colorado.EDU> Date: 8 Jul 89 09:02:10 GMT Sender: news@boulder.Colorado.EDU Reply-To: hunt@tramp.Colorado.EDU (Lee Cameron Hunt) Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 10 I head a rumor (just a rumor) that the floptical disks were experiencing "data fade," ie: the partial loss of data after the disk has not been used for a few months. Has anyone else heard this rumor or experienced it for themselves? I have not been reading this newsgroup long so perhaps it has already been discussed. If so, please just e-mail me. Thanks, Lee (...!boulder!tramp!hunt or hunt@Tramp.Colorado.EDU)
