- This brings up another question---I have seen many persons (me too),
- keep floppies close to the monitor.
- And the monitor is turned on and off once a day.
- I have done this for more than two years now, but my floppies are still
- readable, so it seems that the magnetic field on a floppy is quite
- strong and does not get destroyed easily.
-
- Yet, have heard horror stories of floppies near huge loudspeakers,
- or over a TV, etc, are these stories really true, or are they urban
- legends?
