I've known for a long time. The fact is that since childhood I
had an ear for music. Moreover, he was distinguished by
going in a bad direction.  But this drawback
compensated by voice.  I had a voice
strong but nasty. Despite all
this set, I really enjoyed singing.           
  Back in kindergarten I not only quailthe entire children's repertoire, but also many operas
arias. I was especially successful with the dying aria -
of Cavaradossi "My hour has come, and here I am
I'm dying..."

your favorite aria.  Ivan Ivanovich did not

Finally, when there were no takers, he called
me. I sang “My hour has come”... Ivan Iva-
the newcomer was silent for a long time, then took out a box,
took out a validol tablet and put it under
tongue and, when it eased a little, he said:
"Children. Never offend this boy-
chica - an elephant stepped on his ear." "Bear" -
I timidly objected. “That’s right,” said Ivan
Ivanovich, and the bear too."               
  After that he gave me release from
singing lessons due to health reasons.
  After school there was an army. In the army I tried -

   How to store and use correctly   
                 floppy disks.                 
 (C) Andrey Kononovich, "KV"
                (W) Mentat                
                                          
   Never leave floppy disks in
drive! Data can leak and become corrupted
drive mechanisms!   The best way
storage of floppy disks 5"25 - roll them into
tube and put it in a pencil holder.       
   You must clean and lubricate your
diets at least once a week.
Small metal particles can be easily
remove from the surface of the working layer. For
just swipe it powerfully
magnet. If you see that pollution
is not deleted, you can use
detergent. Preferably with chlorinol.
   You can lubricate floppy disks with any lubricant.
Apply lubricant evenly to surface
and rub it.  Lubricated floppy disk spins
faster, resulting in access times
reading speed also decreases
increases.                            
   It is advisable not to fold floppy disks
in half, unless they fit in
disk drive  "Large" floppy disks can be folded
in half and can be successfully used in
"small" disk drive.                    
   Never insert a floppy disk upwards
with your feet!  Data may fall from working
surface and get into the mechanism
drive.    Ifdata gets into
mechanism, then, as a rule, it
jams.  Then you'll have to go to
workshop.                               
   Floppy disks cannot be copied by skipping
them through a copy machine. If you
you need to make several copies of the same
same data, just insert two (or
as many floppy disks as needed) into your
disk drive Everything will be duplicated on these
disks.                                   
   Another little tip about
copying: if you need very
quickly make several copies of your
favorite floppy disks, then just put them between
them a carbon copy before inserting it into
disk drive                                 
   Do not insert or remove floppy disks
when the red (or green) light is on.
If you do this, then the data
will be smeared all over the disk, and it will be difficult for you
will read them.  True, if the light
flashes, it means the computer
is in standby mode.   to you,
you may have to put it in the drive
several medium denomination bills,
so that the computer comes out of this state
and allowed access to the drive.            
   If your floppy disk is full and you
needs a little more space on it,
remove it from the drive and vigorously shake it
a few minutes. The data will settle downand lie down
tighter, which will free you
necessary space (by the way, this is where
all modern methods are based
compression).   ATTENTION!  Before
shake the floppy disk, seal all the cracks and cutouts
in it (in “small” floppy disks you will block
moving lid).  If it doesn't
done, your data may be lost from
floppy disks and you will have a hard time finding them.     
   You can increase the read/write speed
very simple: you just need to cut through
several additional holes in the case
floppy disks.     This will allow the drive
access data simultaneously
at several points, which, naturally,
will lead to an increase in speed.           
   Pollinate floppy disks from time to time
insecticides and antibiotics to
prevent the spread of your
viruses.                                  
   If you want to constantly have fresh
data, then store the floppy disks in the freezer.
Just remember to warm them up before
use in a microwave oven (for
this way they can also be dipped for a few minutes
minutes in hot water)!                    
   You can recover data from
damaged floppy using the command
DOS: FORMAT "". Or (if the first
the method does not help) tryjust
apply new markings on the working
surface with a fingernail or a needle.           
   Remember that floppy disks eventually
harden and become brittle!
Be sure to make a backup
copying (using
methods described above) before your
floppy disks will become so fragile that they
will be impossible to use!            
   I hope the life of your floppies will be
happily ever after.
