:) Unfortunately it was already thriving by that time! But it was important for floppy disks, because there was a danger of disks getting corrupted through use, so it was standard practice upon buying any software to make a copy that you would use on a daily basis while the original sat safely in a box, needed only if your copy failed at some point.

In terms of the functionality of the computer and the user experience, the Amiga was still very modern at that time.

@tookitogo
2 жыл бұрын
No. Many operating systems other than Windows referred to “initializing” a disk, in part because not all disks actually use low-level formatting (i.e. it’s permanently done at the factory). It’s basically observing a distinction between formatting (laying down physical tracks and sectors) and initializing (writing a file system onto a disk that has been formatted).

L'ho strausata giocando tantissimo dai 6 ai 13 anni...proprio sfruttata, me la sono goduta 😪... Poi arrivò Playstation1 anche lì grandi ricordi...Peró Amiga sicuramente resta il primo amore.
