I couldn’t stomach the number of floppy drive changes necessary on the first machine. As far as I was concerned, if I had to swap that many floppies back and forth, it was no better than a PDP-11 with RX01 drives.

I had two floppy drives on mine (one external) and that was a big help for me. But, as soon as I heard about a hard drive for the Mac, I got one. It was a mere 80 MB (that’s “mega” not “giga”... LOL...) and it cost $800 back then... hoo-boy!

But that hard drive made a world of difference...
