The only "romance" involved with Amiga floppy discs in my opinion is when theyre original copies of software and it has the manuals, box, etc. Apart from that I hate floppies. Always have, probably always will :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Floppies rocks!!!. I still like to load my a500 games via floppies, as i like the sound of the drive clocking as i also like to load tapes into my sony hb75p msx computer, after all it's a hobby and it's what you enjoy of it.*If i want to load a game from hd, i fire up steam and do a good play of tf2.

Interesting replies on here, thanks for all of them. Also, I loved the art work that went in to trainer menu's along with the music. :)

The sound of it!

aaaaa-a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  a.  eeeeeee urrrrrrrr.

Sometimes it took far too long though, I'm sure some games took three or four times as long to load as it does to copy an entire disk.
