We got a whole *mess* of AOL floppies some time back,  and I just peeled
'em.  You have to start at a corner,  get it going a bit,  get another
corner started,  and go slow,  overall,  but although time-consuming it
wasn't that big a deal.  Some of them did leave a bit of adhesive behind, 
but it was easy enough to remove that stuff with fingernails.  I got my
grandkids to help,  too,  which made it go quicker.
