I'll meet you halfway there. A tray filled with floppies would indeed remind me of the Amiga. Mine didn't have a harddrive, so floppies were my life.

The moment I switched to PCs floppies were still a thing especially prior to cd burners but it was more CDROMs and harddrive installations from then on.

CDROMs would then remind of the PC... and not as positively as floppies make me think back to the Amiga. CDROMs meant scratches, dirt, reading errors in the worst moments, a lot of aggravation. Of course a floppy disc could break as well but I did not lose nearly as much software due to a floppy than I did due to a CD.
