The story of X-Copy on the Amiga (spillhistorie.no)

The Amiga was so, so cool. So sad it couldn't keep up.

An interesting feature of getting old is when you see something you haven't in 30+ years and it suddenly snaps into focus. X-Copy was invaluable.

Albeit it sort of worked for the kidlets on their lo-rez screens, demoscene- and/or game-style visual aesthetics were (and often still are) a bad choice for good application UI design. But that's of course mostly just preference talking.

Is this sentence true, or should just sound important?

"Cachet created the word «usability» for that, meaning «start it and be able to use it right away.»"

Ah, the famous tool everyone used to share their "acquisitions" back in Portugal.

Back in the 1980's even regular computer stores used to sell pirated software.
