Industrial environments

I once had to install some software on a PC in a large automated fabric cutting room. Inserted my 5 1/4" floppy into the slot and it started to spin, making a rough sound, failing to load. Pulled the disk out and it was now caked in fabric dust. Had to give the drive a good clean before I got it to work. Couldn't help wondering what the operators lungs were like.
