Summary: third option


There is the option of memory and a second floppy. With the second floppy, you
don't have to swap, you don't have to keep so much in ram, and it's cheaper than
a hard disk. I like floppies tho I have a hard disk, to keep my programs on,
because I feel that I'll probably crash my hard disk anyway, and there's a lot
there that can be affected. It's nice to have the hard disk read times, but
hard disks eat up buffers in memory too. You can always use the second floppy
after you get a hard drive, and it has to be the easiest thing to sell used,
because it works with all Amigas.
