And I like to have something to touch, e.g. if I want to use Bag of Tricks, I just throw in the disk and reboot. I don't like to fiddle with menus to select another volume.This I tend to agree with. I still like using floppy disks but... I also have some use for large volumes as well. I prefer most of my DOS 3.3 stuff on floppy but years ago when I got a ZRam for my 2c I got used to using it for some DOS and Pascal work. Oddly, I never got a 3.5 drive until 1999. Of course the PC 3.5 drives ruined them for me. The failure rate for PC 3.5 floppies was ridiculous.
Using a good selector like ProSEL for the most common 50 or so (!) programs you run pretty much eliminates the pain of menus. There's usually just one page (you can define more) that you set up for choosing what you want to do next--and a letter key jumps rapidly among choices beginning with that letter. -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers!
