[Coco] [CoCo] More Progress with Color Forth

Sat Jan 3 18:17:35 EST 2015

Big files?

I have 1TB in my NAS (RAID 1), 500MB in my HTPC, two usb 1TB drives the size of a pack of smokes and 500MB in my backup HTPC. Plus other drives.

Two of my active Laptops can burn 25GB disks.

Some past Sundays I have recorded five NFL games. 5 x 30GB!

Yes I know and the CoCo world will lose more of my knowledge.

Hopefully someone has backed it up and will make it available when it goes dark.

Those people who can download that ISO and burn it to a CD and are still using their CoCo I say great show.

But 64K is so different from 1TB that someone who clicks on that link and it takes two weeks needs to know in advance.

Thus I link to the post I wrote over two years ago.

Stephen Fisher seems to have some fear of large files like CD iso's or VHD files.. must have a small HD (??) He also seems to have a fear of direct links to things and keeps linking people to tandycoco.com which is about to disappear anyway. (Brian has given it up)
