Hah, 8-inch floppy disks.
Probably an urban myth
But I remember hearing about soviet aircraft using valves long after they'd become obsolete, for EMP reasons.
Though the EMP from a microwave would probably nuke an 8" floppy...

Yes, (sort of) the strong, and very short radio waves would superheat the iron oxide, burning anything non-metallic -- such as the underlying mylar

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"

Sadly, it's not actually a freepost address according to their website.
On the other hand, they do have a freephone number - 0800 587 6 587 - so you could ring 'em, and leave the phone off the hook while you're at work.
