Having received a free Verbatim DataLifePlus Teflon-protected minidisk in the
mail, I have the following concern before feeding it into the disk drive:
How permanent is the Teflon coating?  The Teflon on my cooking skillets has
come off in places (probably through improper treatment).  Will the same thing
happen to the diskette and interfere with the operation of the read/write head?
Granted, the head and the disk are never supposed to meet.  Is data intregrity
really higher as the manufacturer claims?

Any positive or negative experiences with this innovation?
