Sandeep -

You couldn't use the floppy on a Mac in '89? It was easier on the UNIX box? Clicking and dragging was harder than typing "cp [filename] /dev/fd0" ? Mounting and unmounting each disc using typed commands was easier than having it mount automatically on insertion it or ejecting it by dragging it to the trash?

Yes, I know, some people really thought the command line was all that in '89, but I must be missing something here.
