@mjtsai I think people have forgotten how inconvenient it was to not have a floppy drive in be original iMac.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 21

@rgigger I don’t remember that being big deal, personally. More of an issue that serial/ADB/SCSI peripherals didn’t work.

@mjtsai for personal use it wasn’t a problem. But I had an early iMac in college when floppies was *the* way people swapped files.

@mjtsai I’m sure YMMV but IIRC the public lamenting about it was very similar to the complaining about removal of headphone jack.
rgigger ‏@rgigger Sep 21 American Fork, UT

@mjtsai perception was not “good riddens we’ve got better tech” it was “this is insane and inexplicable. Why would you do that”
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Sep 21

@rgigger Floppies were really bad, but OTOH they had more interoperability benefits than the headphone jack.

@mjtsai yes exactly. It created a lot of social awkwardness as you tried to engineer around it to share files.
