Back in the day me and my friends where Collectors. We downloaded and traded as many programs as we could. Did we use them? No. Did we play the games? Usually no. We just collected them. Maybe it’s an addiction? Were you a collector?
This article is from The Transactor Vol 5, Issue 03.
This is a very interesting article on the FCopy program which was the first to take the time to top copy a C64 disk from 25 minutes to 8 minutes and then to 4.5 minutes.
It’s a great read.
