[quote][color=#0057AF]B: Especially that this is what's already printed on the label.[/color]
[color=#BB6622]KXA: Well, the option was called "print"...[/color]
[color=#BB6622]So maybe nothing was recorded on the disk, and just the label was printed.[/color]
[color=#0057AF]B: A QR code on a floppy disk.[/color]
[color=#0057AF]That seems really anachronistic.[/color]
[color=#BB6622]KXA: It could be worse.[/color]
[color=#0057AF]B: ?[/color]
[color=#BB6622]KXA: Imagine using the floppy disk as a punch card and just punching some holes in it.[/color]
[color=#0057AF]B: It would become unreadable when the magnetic circle inside is rotated.[/color]
[color=#BB6622]KXA: Maybe that's how you read it? Replace the magnetic head with an optical sensor and then detect the holes on a spinning disk?[/color]
[color=#0057AF]B: But what about the holes which don't end up on the rotating part?[/color]
[color=#BB6622]KXA: Use them for storing secret information because nobody will be able to read it![/color]
[color=#0057AF]B: Ok, that's a really silly idea.[/color]
[color=#0057AF]What do we do with those disks now?[/color][/quote]
The telephone is ringing.
