| | Floppy disk care | |
By following the instructions below, you should have error-free, long-lasting floppy disks.
Never leave diskettes in the disk drive, as data can leak out of the disk and corrode the inner mechanics of the drive. Diskettes should be rolled up and stored in pencil holders.Diskettes should be cleaned and waxed once a week. Microscopic metal particles can be removed by waving a powerful magnet over the surface of the disk. Any stubborn metallic shavings can be removed with scouring powder and soap. When waxing the diskettes, make sure the surface is even. This will allow the diskette to spin faster, resulting in better access time.Do not fold diskettes unless they do not fit into the drive. "Big" diskettes may be folded and used in "little" disk drives.Never insert a diskette into the drive upside down. The data can fall off the surface of the disk and jam the intricate mechanics of the drive.Diskettes cannot be backed up by running them through the xerox machine. If your data is going to need to be backed up, simply insert two diskettes into the drive. Whenever you update a document, the data will be written on both diskettes.Diskettes should not be... | |
| | The origin of the life? | | t was the 18 January of 2000 when a ball of fire appeared in the sky of Canada, accompanied by strong detonations.
The sun was darkened when the sphere penetrated in the terrestrial atmosphere, going then to break on the frozen surface of the Tagish Lake, in the Yukon, to north of British Colombia.
Its fall was also noticed by the satellites in geostationary orbit around the Earth.
To he/she dictates some experts it had to be a great deal a fragile meteorite, since you/he/she was reduced in dust, breaking himself/herself/itself and scattering later his fragments on a vast superficie.Nove days, Jim Brook, a resident astrofilo in the proximities, was on the frozen surface of the lake to look for fragments of the meteorite and when he/she saw them it picked up until of it it was able putting them in a plastic pouch not to contaminate them. The following day, a sharp pain snowfall made difficult further recoveries. To find of of it new you are had to attend the spring.
Briskly working against the time and the ice that it was quickly loosened (heated by the solar light, the dark stones had begun to sink in the ice), in spring the Canadian scientists succeeded in... | |
