I grew up in the late 90s, so by the time I ever really got to use a computer, Floppy Disks were already pretty well out of fashion. For anybody else who “grew up” in the 90s, did you actually enjoy using them? We’re they always an inconvenience or did they have some magic to them?

Yeah, having to keep so many floppies for 1 thing (like games) always seemed like such a pain. That’s the part of this post I was most interested in hearing about - if it was really as big a pain as I thought it would be lol

You kinda worked around it, at least my family did. You would keep them all together in a disk holder or something. I don't really recall losing any like that, until the 2000s, when they weren't in use any more.
