Fits on a Floppy

I don’t miss floppy disks. I miss the mindset they demanded—that every byte matters, that constraints breed creativity, and that software should be light on its footprint.

I remember booting up the Amiga computer as a kid using floppy disks. All the games I played on it used 3.5-inch floppy disks and I don't remember any of them needing more than 1 disk.
