I tried it once with a 3 1/2", well, they aren't as "flexible"

I jumped in the pool once and forgot I had a 3 1/2" floppy in my pocket. I had to do a transplant to another case because once the little paper filters get wet the media can't turn freely anymore. But suprisingly the data was recoverable.

Even so I check my pockets just to be sure...

That's nothing to the hazards of my occupation - it involves 600MHz NMR spectrometer. Any kind of magnetic media inside 1.5m is erased. My bank should charge me extra for all credit cards it had to replace And yes, I once had to reload some Atrocities' shipsets because I had the Zipdisk with me while loading samples
