adj. [prob.: from folklore's golden egg ] When used to describe a magnetic
|
|
|
|
|
medium (e.g., golden disk , golden tape ), describes one containing a
|
|
|
|
|
tested, up-to-spec, ready-to-ship software version. Compare
|
|
|
|
|
platinum-iridium. One may also go gold , which is the act of releasing a
|
|
|
|
|
golden version. The gold color of many CDROMs is a coincidence; this term
|
|
|
|
|
was well established a decade before CDROM distribution become common in the
|
|
|
|
|
mid-1990s.
