Default Re: SE4 in higher resolutions + OT: floppy disks

My greatest annoyance with Windows and floppy disks is that after one removes the floppy disk, Windows tends to grind itself to a halt while it checks to see if the disk is still around, at annoying and often irrelevant times.

My greatest annoyance with Macs and floppy disks (or CDs) is that the machine tends to lock the disk inside itself, with no physical eject button available, requiring working software/hardware/power/delay to get the disk back from the thing.

Linux has it's own annoyances with disks, of requiring the user to "mount" the disk in software.

Once, again, my Atari 8-bit and ST computers win the contest of annoyance, having none of those problems.
