On the other hand, the floppy issue was widley discussed at the time and it was hurting the NeXT, but Jobs wouldn't allow it because floppies were "obsolete". Eventually he caved, and of course he presented adding a floppy drive as his own idea, but by then it was too late. Today not having a floppy isn't a big deal but back then you probably had a 9600bps modem if you were lucky enought to have WAN connectivity at all, and today a writable CD costs $0.50 vs. as much as $40 for writable optical back then.
