DudemanJenkinsHow much firmware is initializing???
In the old days some of the servers took at hour to reboot. That was stressful when you couldn’t ping it at an hour.
I like how posting got fairly fast. Then we started putting absurd amounts of ram into servers so now they’re back to slow.
Like we have a high clock speed dual 32 core AMD server with 1TB of ram that takes at least 5 minutes to do it’s RAM check. So every time you need to reboot you’re just sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting anxiously.
I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.
The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow
I’ll date myself. My first PC had 500MB of STORAGE
My first pc had a tape drive.
I had a friend with one of those while I had an Atari. The Atari game would come up within a minute, but the tape took like 15 min to start.
Using a tape drive is crazy when you think about it. It was slow…. This wasn’t the big tape cartridges. It was a standard Audio tape. Not sure why they could store but it was all sequential
Never ask an engineer why lol

Meant that as what about they could store.
Why I know. Go play it and you’ll see how they did it.
I am curious who said. You know am audio take will create a great experience.
