My reasoning for setting the Lock Lever when using a SD Card on my XP PC
is to hopefully keep something from being done to the Card that I didn't
want to happen to the Data on it while the Card was inserted in My computer.

I'd hate to learn that my computer had gotten bit by some kind of Malware
and the SD Card I stuck in another persons PC infected their computer.

I saw some 8" Floppy disks at a Salvation Army Thrift Store but didn't
get them 'cuz I don't know anyone who has a 8" FDD who could use them.

I have 5.25" Double Density Floppies I use with my Commodore 64 PC, and
can use those disks and the 5.25" High Density Floppies on my 486 PC.

I some times I use a piece of Scotch brand Magic Tape to cover the WP Notch
on those disks instead of the stickers that come with a box of Floppies.

There was a building about 10 blocks from my home where a man made and baked
Donuts in the Afternoon.
If I was near there I would go in and watch him as he rolled the dough out
and cut out the donuts.

He would remove the hole portions and put the donut(s) in a baking pan.

After he got all of the donuts in the pan, he would gather the holes and
the scraps left over from the dough he cut the donuts out from, and
roll that wad of dough out and cut out some more donuts from that.

He did that until there wasn't enough dough to make another donut from it
and then he would grab a big pot and mix up some more dough and began
cutting out donuts again.

Occasionally he would stop cutting out donuts to open the Oven door and
remove the cooked Donuts and put other pans in the Oven that needed to be
cooked.

My local Grocery Store sold the Donuts the man made.
Iirc, Three or Four Glazed Donuts came in a small sack and it didn't cost
too much either.
