I just threw out a 720k floppy disk this evening. While I don't know for this one in particular, but I remember that the old 5 1/4" Single sided, single density floppies used to have a lifetime warranty. I remember wondering at the ripe of age of 6 or whatever I was whether or not bringing the thing in and saying "It's dead" would get them to tell me that clearly the lifetime had passed.

Especially now - Who knows what happened to Memorex? (Wikipedia tells me it got bought and that they still sell media) I'm sure their customer service department would love to get a call about an SSSD floppy being dead. I probably have one in one of these boxes, I'm such a packrat.

5 & 1/4"? I remember the luxury of the 8" floppy after carrying around all those punch cards! ;-)
