We were lucky to have the whole Thomas family along this evening. Both my cameras are refusing to open fully, but, really, cameras? Just use your phone for God's sake. Well, OK. Charlie volunteered the use of his and became the photographer. That camera is not real up to such low light, but... plenty good enough.
Paul talked about the upcoming MS150 and gave lots of details about how the fund raising part works.
George asked about backup strategies given that the X1000 has a single 1 TeraByte disk. Given that I am intending to have a linux disk in there also AND have such a narrow use for the Linux, what is a scheme that WILL work in spite of my being like everyone else and place a low value on doing a backup, right now.
The ideal is to have a DOS partition on each hard disk. When the Amiga is booted, it
That way when one of the 2 drives fails, the changes from the last "base" backup done to DVDs for Amiga and for Linux, will be available for either.
A sensible refinement is each TeraByte disk keeps a DOS partition only for the "other" system. Linux disk dies? The Amiga has the backup and vice versa.
Time flew, but we stuck to our guns and left very shortly after 8pm.
