I've seen more than one reference from people who have erased floppy disks by rubbing a permanent magnet across them. If you do this with an audio tape, it is a very good way to get your tape player's head magnetized. The result is that your tape player will slowly erase the tapes as they are played. Is this a problem with computer floppies? Or is the design of floppy disk heads and media such that this is a non issue?
