[net.works] why fix architecture problems? and another idea

LEVITT%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA (01/11/84)

chine with a large
rotating memory, demand paging (along with common GC schemes and other
among others tricks) don't work at all as well as they did for time
sharing.  I'm thrilled for Apple, Xerox research, and anyone else
who's exploring alternatives.  They've met high standards for their
graphic interfaces as well.

Another disk option: anyone aware of systems that keep multiple copies
of a system program on several tracks of a hard disk, taking advantage
of seek adjacencies?  Typical personal computer design practice is to 
waste most of the hard disk.
