Yea, I remember those days too. Put the disk and get it started then |
| 13 |
wait until it finishes the next day. Sometimes it would take more time |
| 14 |
than that. I mean, when you got a puter with 64K of ram and maybe 200 |
| 15 |
or 300MBs of hard drive space, well, it takes a while. Oh, that 4MHz |
| 16 |
blazingly fast CPU helped a lot too. ;-) |
