@rgigger Sympathies. At that time, I was in college, no one else had a Mac, and we just put everything in shared NFS folders.

@rgigger Yep, that’s the big question, and the argument that @gruber made. Could happen. We’ll see how Apple’s tech is and what others do.

@rgigger Floppies were really bad, but OTOH they had more interoperability benefits than the headphone jack.

@rgigger I remember it as more the former. Zip disks and SuperDisks were much better, we had CDs, and USB sticks on the horizon.

@rgigger Yeah. I see attaching a USB floppy/combo drive to a desktop Mac as much less annoying than a dongle that needs to be carried.

@rgigger I don’t remember that being big deal, personally. More of an issue that serial/ADB/SCSI peripherals didn’t work.

@nickheer Thanks. Updated the post. In addition to being quiet, they seem to use the ringer volume rather than the one in Bedtime.
