I think it's the actual nostalgic and emotional use we got out
of slotting a disk in the side of our Amiga's.
I sure as hell loved pushing that eject button, and slotting in a new disk, it FELT good. and was instant.
how gay is it pushing eject on a DVD, wait for the drive to spin down (up to 15 seconds) then farts about abit, and eventually you get your disc out.. id love a DVD drive that just spits your disc out the moment you push that eject button. i wouldnt care if it was on fire at the time. as long as it came out..
as far as floppy USE goes. they are unreliable. slow and limited capacity. but I still prefer them to cd/dvd's...
