RE: external floppy port on Classic

One reason I'm glad my Mac plus has an external floppy port is that
if the internal one ever breaks (what something on a Mac plus break?
you say) I can buy a *new* external drive for about $100.
However, if I decide to trade in my broken internal for a new one 
from Apple I can expect to pay over $200.
The only thing that putting everything internal does is force you
(or at least most people who balk at poking around inside their Mac)
to buy everything from Apple.
