To put his words into perspective:
USA guys, please understand that in Poland where he (and I) lives/lived external floppy disk was as uncommon as floppy drive for small Atari.
Not agreeing isn't the same as not understanding.. ;-)
No one said that nowhere in the world did most localized users not have a second floppy.
That being said, the Amiga wasn't a low end computer.
Even the A500 wasn't low end.. It cost some bucks...
I would think, even in Poland and elsewhere, a percentage of people who could afford that, would eventually be able to afford a second floppy...
I bought my first Amiga 500 back in the day, and couldn't afford the floppy.
Even as a USA guy.. ;-)
It was quite a while before I could afford a 2nd floppy.
I got really good at customizing my WB floppies and using the RAM drive.
But all the while, I was saving up for a second floppy, and eventually bought a cheap one...
I wouldn't be surprised if that type of action wasn't common among Amiga owners without a lot of money, regardless of where they lived.
And yes, I'm sure there were also people who couldn't afford even that...
Even in the USA..
