I remember spending 15 minutes or so on an original Mac trying to figure
out why I couldn't save my work, or make a copy of it on the floppy, or
etc etc etc, because the floppy was write-protected. No message or
anything - just failure to highlight the drive icon when you drag the
folder over it, a greyed-out save menu, etc.
I liked the Amiga mechanism much better. You drag a file onto a disk
icon, it pops up a window saying the drive is write-protected, you take
the disk out, unprotect it, put it back in, and it automatically clicks
"retry" for you.
