Here's a simple question that I've never gotten a straight answer on
in all the time I've been exposed to computers. When a floppy drive accesses
the disk the budy light always stays on for about 2 seconds after it's
done accessing. Is it safe to pull the disk out during this time or is
it better just to wait till the busy light turns off?

I know it's a dumb question, but like I said, I never got a straight
answer for it in the past.
