Even 25 years ago, I was scared crapless of my floppies failing. Many a BBS backup got corrupted.

That's why I bought a cd burner when I first saw them ... best $600 I spent, and $20 to 5 discs.
I've always seen CD-Rs and floppy disks a bit differently, since a CD-R can only be burned once. I've only tried using a re-writeable CD (CD-RW) once, and the data started to became corrupt after only a month or two, so I neve trusted CD-RWs again.
i used to write a big x on them and use them as coasters until eventually junk cds took that role.
it was kind of nice for a while though when aol was basically givingyeah i have some of those disks! :D
away free disks.. carefully peel off the sticker and you could make a
new label out of cut-up VHS tape labels hehe

Those are great to have in a collection - authentic re-used AOL floppy disks! Truly historic artifacts. :)
