I still remember the Beagle Bros. catalog which contained additional
pictograms of what *not* to do with your floppies. The standard
ones on the back of 5.25" jackets contained such things as "don't
store near magnetic fields", "don't write on labels with ball point
pens", etc. The Beagle Bros. additions contained "Do not fold into
a paper airplane" and "do not put into hot toaster". Does anyone
remember the other entries? Anyone? Anyone?
