Harry Plantinga) Newsgroups: net.micro.mac Subject: Why so many warm boots? Message-ID: <119@uwvax.UUCP> Date: Thu, 7-Feb-85 11:30:32 EST Article-I.D.: uwvax.119 Posted: Thu Feb 7 11:30:32 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 9-Feb-85 07:30:32 EST Distribution: net Organization: U of Wisconsin CS Dept Lines: 14 Suppose I have a fat mac with two disks and run an application, say MacWrite. Why is it that after I exit the application, the finder insists on spinning both disks to find out what's on them, rather than remembering? Surely a fat mac has enough memory to run a moderate-sized application and keep the desk-top images in memory. This is particularly annoying when running a ram disk, since if you have any disks in the drives, exiting to the finder is slow again because the finder insists on reading both disks.
