Handbook
With this placement technique, you might start the day
by
inserting the operations disk into the Mac.
If
you need to use
both Mac Write and
MacPaint
to create a document with
both
graphics and text, copy those applications onto the operations
disk.
Since both applications together occupy about 113K or
28%
of
the disk space, you may wish to use the Font Mover to
remove unneeded fonts from the System
file.
Let
us
use this
application
to
remove the following fonts and point sizes and
place them onto a Fonts
file:
• Athens 18
• Geneva 12,
14,
18, 24
• San Franscisco 18
•
Toronto
8,
12, 14, 18, 24
• Venice 14
The Fonts
file
for these fonts takes up about 53K
of
disk
memory. Copy the Fonts
onto
one
or
two data disks, move the
operations disk copy
of
the Fonts file to the Trash, and select
Empty Trash. We have created 53K
of
extra disk memory on
our operations disk.
Under these conditions
we
have room for
five
or
six documents with which
we
can work.
Now use the data disk to copy any needed documents onto
the operations disk. We have set up a situation where all
needed information now resides on one disk. The advantage to
this
is
that
we
do not need to worry
about
working with two
or
three separate disks when operating the Mac. When opening
an application, the data disk and applications disk will be
erased from RAM. When using the computer, the needed files
will all reside on one disk. We may create documents, edit other
documents, and print them with no need
to
refer to other disks.
The disadvantages to this data handling method are
mostly a matter
of
convenience. First, the operator may find it
tedious to copy the document
to
the operations disk, then
recopy updated versions back
to
the data disk.
