TALCUM POWDER ON THE DISK?????????

Surely you jest!!  Do you know what a tiny particle of that junk will
do to both your media AND the read/write heads!!!  Use talcum on ONE
disk and before long, all of your disks will be wearing your heads so
badly that you'll probably need a completely new drive VERY soon! And,
of course, if you use any of the infected diskettes in the new drive, 
THEY will infect the new drive.

I'd say keep that crap away from ANY system you use!
