A
GARBLED
UP
DISK
Caring
for
your
disk
might seem
a
little
awkward
at
first. It
should. You've spent
most
of
your
life
protecting
your papers and
now
you're
dealing
with
a different
medium.
After awhile, though, protecting your
disk
from
dust
and magnetic
devices
will
seem
as natural
to
you
as protecting
your papers from
a strong gust
of
wind.
And
once you
get
used
to
keeping your
disk "ungarbled,"
you'll
never want
to
go
back
to
pencils
and
paper again (we
hope).
