I have a number of used 3.5 floppies to give away. Does anyone want them? Alternatively, does anyone know of a recycling centre or charity that specialises in distributing them? Also, I'd like to delete what's on them without doing it manually, any quick methods? Does leaving them next to the telly/VDU work? Karl Stephen

Karl Stephen After leaving a box of floppies on top of the telly for weeks I found that they were still OK. I remember a boss of mine bringing me a very distorted important 5.1/4 floppy that he had left on his window sill in the full summer sun. Is there any way to retreive the data from this he asked?

to deal with the data on the disks... Find a degaussing machine - some old tv video repair places have them. Also some old school businesses have them - that handled sensitive data or whatever.

Also, I'd like to delete what's on them without doing it manually, any quick methods? Does leaving them next to the telly/VDU work? Very slowly. The only homemade solution I have found works is swiping a dozen or so times with the magnet from the motor of an old floppy drive. �It seems a little perverted but the permanent magnets in these motors are pretty powerful. �Then you have to find somewhere to keep the magnet, away from your discs/tapes.

Also, I'd like to delete what's on them without doing it manually, any quick methods? Does leaving them next to the telly/VDU work? Very slowly. � A computer magazine a while back held a competition for the stupidest sugggestion for a front-cover giveaway. The winner was the dork who suggested the handy-dandy magnetic floppy disk holder that sticks to the side of your monitor. � I've used a honking great horseshoe magnet (weighs about three kilos) to wipe floppies before now but as I recall they wouldn't format again afterwards
