I've heard a number of stories of persons attaching thier diskettes to
filing cabinets with magnets, Well I've also heard of a service tech who
was trying to fix a broken disk drive, but couldn't find anything wrong with.
While getting it ready to ship to the manufacturer he spotted something 
yellow inside the drive. Upon closer examination, he found a 1" x 1-1/2"
post-it note  stuck on the drives read/write head. Upon removing it the drive
worked fine. When the owner came into the shop to pickup the drive the tech
found out that the owner was using post-it notes to label his disks. Of course
the tech recommended something a little more permanent.
