Epic Amiga battle on osnews.com Extra Floppy vs No Extra Floppy!

[save2600]

Yep, every Amiga owner I knew had an external drive. Pretty much a necessity as we all know. External floppies back then were as common as internal hard drives are today.  

For someone to argue otherwise, probably never owned or used an Amiga in the 80's. Either that or he's confusing the Amiga with another platform. I didn't know too many Apple ][c owners that had external drives. Then again, I didn't know too many ][c owners. lol   ][e people almost always had that single unit dual drive deal sitting below their green monochrome monitor.  :laughing:

he stated that where he is from most or all of people he knew with an Amiga did not have an external\second disk drive... please think about it, the necessity you mention was not always available in many parts of the world.

May not have been a necessity to some in the literal sense, but c'mon - a non-hard drive, single floppy system back then was a total compromise. Everyone I knew that couldn't afford an external drive at the time of purchase (including myself when I bought the A1000), that was the very first thing they saved up for. Well, that and some RAM.
