Diskettes: Bring at least three 3.5 inch diskettes, labeled with your name, to class. Choose name brand diskettes: Sony, Maxell, Verbatim, etc. They should be High Density disks unless you need to transfer work to a computer outside the lab that only reads Double-Density disks (such as a Macintosh over five years old). Itıs a good idea to get a disk wallet or disk box, also labeled with your name, to protect your disks while you transport them.
