I've never tried opening a 3-1/2 in. disk, but it's worth a try. Worst case, you've out a blank disk.

Several guys here have IPhones and seem to spend most of their time downloading "apps" or updating the phone to get it to do things my "old" motorola does naturally. When I questioned them as to why they want all that grief they told me that old guys just don't understand. Well, they're right. I like things simple and uncomplicated. Why would I want to buy something that required me to subscribe to another service to get it to work?
