Btw. I guess if we would test 100 CDs and 5¼" discs, there would be more
CDs around 2 years old, than 5¼" discs around 25 years old, with data
loss. I could do such a test, but I won't do it. It's to much hassle to
get an old computer and drive working. Btw. I used a puncher for the
office

Save money + time by punching two discs at once :D.
A switch for the light barrier, a filigree one like those

would be a smart solution.
