So, getting new floppies is possible, but expensive, meanwhile I see quite a few used ones pop up, many of which testing suggests are of reasonable quality still, and will work in drives when reformatted.
The problem is old labels... I hate using old labels, even when they are blank. What is the solution to getting them off?
Lately I've tried WD40, simply peeling the ones that come off easy, scratching off labels with fingernails, cutting with a plastic razor ( poor outcomes ), cutting with a scraper (very poor outcomes) and using isopropyl ( good for removing glue, but not labels ).
Surely there must be an optimal way people have discovered.... What is the best way to remove old labels from floppy disks safely and surely?
