Do you remember CP/M?
I came from an Amstrad CPC 6128, which came with a 3" disk drive. I absolutely love handling those rare 3" disks (and the fact you can 'turn over' the disk .... LOL) but I also remember using CP/m quite a bit to manage files on disks. It seemed quite odd in it's syntax (copying a file was strange with the PIP utility, specifying the destination BEFORE the soure on the command line)
However, I still really enjoy the use of floppies on my Amigas. I have purposely kept one A500 with no hard drive for this purpose.
