Uses for write-protect tabs: since the company I was working for wouldn't get me a bulletin board, I used the write protect tabs to stick up on a window all the things that should have been pinned into cork. Also, as page tabs into bound notebooks, separating photocopied articles. Andy "Krazy" Glew. Gould CSD-Urbana. USEnet: ...!ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!aglew ARPAnet: aglew@gswd-vms

Gould even gave me an office! The company I was talking about was a former employer. But, I'm not sure that I don't prefer working with floppies and write protect tabs to tapes and rings. Tapes are archaic storage media that should be wrapped up into balls and thrown into the snake hollows in Manitoba. Andy "Infinitely Krazy" Glew. Gould CSD-Urbana.

/* ... the discussion on what to do with the excess "write-protect" tabs
that come in boxes of floppies... */
They also make great reinforcements for 3-hole punched papers that
get a lot of use... just stick them down in the places where the holes
are going to be punched, then punch. Use one on each side of the paper
for extra-heavy duty.
BTW, only on 5-1/4" diskettes are they "write-protect" tabs... on 8"
diskettes they are "write-enable" tabs. (Almost all other computer
magnetic media I know of follows the ANS practice of 'the void means you
can't write on it'. Think of write-enable rings on mag tape, and the
holes in cassette tapes that must be covered to record, and the 3-1/2"
diskettes that have the sliding tab.)
