That wasn't so hard, was it?

The retirement of the venerable 3.5" disk, aka the floppy, reminds me of a story told by a friend. In the late 80s, this friend had a nifty new PC of whatever brand. A young relation, a boy of nine, was visiting, so my friend was showing off the new computer. The kid looked around for a stack of floppies that would signify the presence of games.
My friend said that he had some games, but that he kept them on the hard disk.
The young 'un asked, "Why don't you use the easy disk?"
