        I had 7 dead floopies died in a day in the sense that after I 
copied files off them and asked my HD drive to erase it, it says
INITIALIZATION FAILED.  Last night, I tried FastFormat 3.0 on them.
It complains that it is having some problems and asks  me whether
I would like to continue.  I say yes and I seem to have my disk back.
        But...I don't think I want to put anything on those disk again.
