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?

well, in the grand scheme of things, all of those modes of storage came and went relatively quickly, and the internet almost completely outmoded the need for portable tech...for more static usage, even HDDs are being replaced by SSDs... and all companies want to us to migrate even that to the cloud, to more centralize and profit from that.
