I have lived were I do now for over 30 years, and unfortunately I live down a dusty gravel road that has a fair amount of traffic on it, floppies don't live very long were I live, the very fine silt like dust gets into them and causes scratches and that kills the floppies, I "might" get 5 or 10 uses out of a floppy before it's dead, I had to resort to storing floppies in zip-lock bags and blowing out the floppy drive before every use, I also had to remove the carpet in the house and found almost an inch of silt/sand under the carpet, it was nasty, and yes we have, and used, a vacuum cleaner but that did not help, even now with no carpet and air filters in every room there is still a lot of dust, I got a CD burner in the late 1990s and never looked back.
