Flip the plastic chicklet in your floppy disk so you dont accidentally erase it.
Same thing for VHS tapes. That had to be something **super **important, like if they showed Raiders on TV
Cutting a notch in your floppy disk to write protect it....
Don’t forget the stickers to un-write protect it :-)
Chewing up a piece of paper and shove the goo into the holes of a casette you didn't like so you could record on it
We'd put tape over the holes, I remember recording Death Metal albums over my parents old exercise cassettes, for example.
You could also just have put tape over the hole...
Yeah gross.
Or, as my lazy ass would do sometimes, move the slider and grab a magnet so maybe my "homework" wouldn't load and I'd get another day.
