The 3/8 inch by 1/8 inch button is big? I would hate to know what your conception of huge is. Again, fumbling around to find that button is a pain.

Only to you. It is impossible to miss it, as it clearly stands out on any computer case I have ever seen.

But I noticed you avoided my biggest gripe. The fact that the PC/windows does not automatically eject the floppy on shutdown.

Ever heard of DOS? Every Version of windows except for XP has maintained DOS compatibility, and in DOS, you often do not want to eject the floppy upon shutting down, as you will then have to stick it back in when you boot up again (boot disks and all).

No Fyron, it is a pain to anybody like me who may find themselves in similiar circumstances. But of course, you would never think of asking what those circumstances are. So, you are wrong when you say it is "Only to you." And yes, of course it is impossible to miss...after fumbling about. But if I had a choice 1) wasting time by fumbling about for it and 2) not wasting time at all, I prefer not wasting time.

Yes, I have heard of DOS. But maybe you haven't heard that DOS is on the way out. So tell me, what percentage of PC Users do you think are consistently (as opposed to "occasionally") using a DOS floppy to boot their newer computer?
