@billgoats Option A because then the text is oriented correctly as the floppy is inserted into the drive.

@mansr @billgoats Disagree, because when you put it in, you already know which disk you are holding. Label up because you kept dozens of disks on your desk in a small plastic box. You'd flip through them like you would with vinyl records, until you found the one you wanted.

@airwhale @billgoats This floppy agrees with me. I believe it's the only one still in my possession.

@airwhale @billgoats If memory serves, commercially printed floppies were generally done in this orientation.
