But *THIS* suggestion is a PRIZE remark!  I've been around this game since
about 1972 or so, the first Heath H8 era, actually still have H89 serial
#672 if my memory of the serial number is right!

And it *NEVER* crossed my mind to set the write protect tab on one of those
diskettes before stuffing it into a hole!

Thanks for that suggestion, indeed.
