True.
And even if you back up the disks or DL new images from the many online libraries, it can be a problem to acquire new physical floppies. 3.5" is walking in the footsteps of 5 1/4" in this regard. Can't remember when I last bought a new floppy. It's a dead medium.
But there are some solutions from companies like induvidual computer (thinking of their C64 products with memory cards etc).
And then there are emulators of course.

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more!
MorphOS is Amiga
done right!
