    My school back in the day used to sell dirt cheap diskettes of such a bad quality you had to copy everything you had on there to your PC as soon as you got home because if you waited until morning the data would already be corrupted. Funny to see flash drives going the same way.

      This makes me laugh because I absolutely remember getting a faulty diskette as a kid in the early 90s. I saved my files from school fail on the library computers and crying because it took me like an hour to type up a solid 2 paragraphs.
