I used floppies with favorite games and such on them for at least 3 years pretty regularly when I was in high school/early uni in the mid 80's. And I can't remember EVER actually having disk errors in school with homework and such on them. Possibly I did, but I'd think losing that critical piece of homework would have stuck with me.
