Someone who wants to make super sure that no dust gets into the discs, as even a single mote of dust in the drive will set off a chain reaction that destroys every universe simultaneously.
At least, according to my mother. She always insisted that floppy discs be stored like this since dust could settle in the tab if left the other way.
Isn’t the lid and key supposed to keep the dust out?
You'd think, but she was paranoid that the tiniest mote of dust would cause the computer to break.
No. The key is strictly for security. It does nothing for dust.
