At least then you get to retain the noise of the disk drive motors, which you wouldn't if loading from an HD. That on it's own is a reason to use an Amiga for games.
It is? Drives me nuts sometimes
Anyway not all games recognise external drives (which is inexcusable really), and loading from HD is so much quicker, and never any swapping at all, I think it's something that if you ever used you'd never go back to floppies.
