1988: NeXT Cube introduced. No floppy drive. Pundits outraged. I quietly smile.
1998: iMac introduced. No floppy drive. More outrage. I continue to smile. Who needs that old technology? Let’s move on!
2026: Um, I just purchased a floppy drive.

will the new floppy drive read ancient Mac floppies which back in the day used an unusual variable-speed-of-rotation encoding? no OK what about those 2.88 Meg high-density floppies that were briefly all the rage no OK but you still own an entire box of rare, unused 2” floppies from 1985? yes
