    Does anyone miss...

    ....the feeling and sound of handling and using Floppy disks?

    The smell of a new Floppy, the sliding metal cover, the read/write tab. Peeling fresh labels, writing them out and ordering your disk collection.

    The sound it made as you slotted it home into the Amiga. The sensation of pushing the disk into the drive with a single finger. The disk loading sounds...

    Ok, it sounds like retro porn I admit, but it's true.

    It just occurred to me now I really miss Floppy media. I don't feel the same about Tapes or Carts and CD/DVD/Flash disks just feel cold - they have no character. Installing things from Floppy to a hard drive felt great too.

    Sure Floppies were slow, but they felt better somehow. Yes, I'm having a nostalgia morning.....
