And this is how it ended. Even if the iPad has been updated via iTunes to the latest version (but I have no idea which version it is running now)

Maybe we are done with updates. Let's wait and see if the load settles down

And finally all updates have been installed. It's probably worth backing up the disk now.

I'm playing with #greaseweazle and a bunch of random floppies at flux level. This is a MF/2HD (1.44 MB). All other disks in the box are in DOS format and show up as expected. This one has handwritten label "Install 1 HD". Not sure what's going on here! @bolex70 maybe? :)

Found this printout in my teenage room: Virus characteristics list V74. By McAfee 1991. I don't remember the origin, and I never owned a dot matrix printer either. I will try to look online for the digital file. The world was simpler back then. #virus #mcafee #retrocomputing

And it's that day when you get to use the RCA-RCA cable you saved for 20ish years and the RCA-BNC adapter :)
