You should never edit a workbook that is saved on a floppy disk. Always copy
it to the local hard drive first using Windows Explorer.

What happens is when the file is saved, Excel makes a file on the disk with
the new workbook, then deletes the old one. If the file gets to be half the
floppy's capacity, you get read-only/unable to open/memory errors.
