Ehh.

I used to get a student every semester coming to me with a
disintegrated zip disk in hands, asking what to do.

And by "disintegrated," I mean it was in three pieces--two halves of
the case and the disk itself.

Now they all have several more years on them . . .

My hopes at disk recovery of my old programs still relies on zip
disks, but for new data . . .
