I've been using this tape for a year or so.  I haven't had any
problems with the tape falling off.  As an example, my disk repair
floppy, and virus floppy are both labelled with this tape.  They
have received more use than I care to remember, and still have no
problems with the tape lifting at the corners.  I should really
replace these labels with permanent ones, since these are valuable
disks, and won't be relabelled.

This seems to be one of those discussions which can happen via E-mail
rather than via netnews.  I would rather not post to "thousands of
machines throughout the entire civilized world" (from the rn warning).
Besides, I don't think many people are interested in which floppies
I've labelled, and not labelled.
