C64 tape with turbo was actually faster (~500 Bytes/s) than non turbo Floppy (~400 Bytes/s).

Many 8bit Atari owners will have horror memories of aborted Tape loads. After over 20 years someone finally discovered a bug in original ATARI Tape loading ROM routine resulting in randomly corrupted loads, no amount of sitting motionless while the game loads would help in that case :)
