William Wolf

I first came in touch with PCs in the late 80s; it was a 386 running DOS box with 2MB of memory and 30MB of disk space. I had no experience with PCs and had a hard time in comprehending the DOS manual. I bought I bunch of 3.4” floppy disks; but they didn’t work as expected. Strangely I couldn’t save any file on them.

I realized, soon enough, that you have to proceed the floppy disks with a special treatment before you can use them. The incantation was called “format c:”. Armed with this knowledge proceeded step by step as the example in the manual showed to type “format c:”, as explained in the manual the shell would ask me whether it was right to format this medium, as the data on it would be erased. Sure I had no data on the floppy disk; so I typed YES! The process took long, very long; it had to be normal as in the manual explained that “it would take some time”.

Did the floppy disk work after that: NO
Did I really erase everything on the hard drive: YES

After this special treatment my life changed, and I was hooked up into the computer world. The lesson learned: how to install a PC from scratch and reconfiguring and tweaking it installing, reinstalling tweaking. And trying out much stuff

Another blog bites the bugs

Since I remember, I’ve always been procrastinating. Blogging is a way to simply get started.  The days where I left my beloved programming IDE Delphi 3.0-5.0; I felt like a modern  Odysseus, searching in vain my way home to the one true system, the one true language. I thought it would be a matter of finding where to start and to build up the missing pieces.

After a decade of research; I haven’t found the start and I have lost the true goal was, so a new start was required!
