At one time I had a laptop with a single 720k stiffy drive.

I carried the two programs I use most - XyWrite and askSam - on one stiffy,
and put the data on another, when researching in archives. It meant doing
without the help files, but I didn't need that for data capture. Both
programs loaded into memory, so one could easily take out the program disk
anonce the program was loaded and put in a data disk.
