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?
Back then, it was the easiest way to transfer or store files. USB drives didn’t exist yet. Burning to a CD was more mainstream at the tail end of the '90s. Zip drives didn’t show up until mid '90s and they were still kind of rare not everyone had a zip drive. And network transfers were basically out of the question. Myself my first PC had a 33.6 modem! And I knew a bunch of people that had a 14.4 modem! There were no cloud options as that just did not exist yet.
But pretty much everything had a floppy drive. Are they were also quickly abandoned because didn’t have a lot for storage. And most floppy discs were made with very cheap materials so they broke very easily.
