I don't know about that.  Not too long ago, I spent several days hacking
away at a peice of code, then 2 1/2 days running it once.  and then I ran it
again. (computing fractals in Applesoft -- yes!)  and never once in that time
did I load any version of an apple disk operating system I own (3.0 3.1 3.2
3.2.1 3.3 Prodos)
