I have a feeling anyone argueing that people with Amigas didnt buy a second floppy because they were very expensive, is probably mistaking the Amiga for the earlier 8Bit machines. For those, a second drive was expensive, sometimes the drives being more expensive than the computer. But Amiga floppies were cheap by comparison. I know my first purchase for my 500 was the 512k expansion, then after a couple of weeks floppy swapping to load games, a second floppy drive. Even the people I knew with 1000s had second floppy drives. They were far cheaper than hard drives or further RAM expansions. I didnt get a hard drive until I got my 2000HD but continued to use that floppy drive even with the 2000.
