WHY
A DISK
IS FAST
A
disk is for storing
your
information.
The
precise
term for
it is a
"mini-diskette,"
but in this
book we'll
just call it
a disk. It is
far
superior to
tape,
the other
alternative.
A disk
is especially
designed
to
"file"
your
infor-
mation
so
the
Computer
can
immediately
get the
information
you want. For
you, this
means
storing
and retrieving
information
—
which
takes
a long
time on tape
—
now
can
be
done quickly
and
efficiently.
