- That's just not true. This Amiga 1000 next to me needs disk-swapping
- all the time. I have piles of floppies laying around here on my 8' long
- computer table.

- WB. Lemme put in another disk.' routine. Harddrives, for any computer,
- are *great*.) Obviously, whenever a harddrive-less computer runs large
- programs, disk-swapping is inevitable.
