It allows you to add internal linebreaks.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, that’s the only type you really saw. No one I know used anything else, until recently when motors became small enough.

That’s fair, I read virtualize as “cloud/hardware far away” and not “local physical machine with a VM on it”.

You can’t virtualize it because you need to physically plug in the hardware, and backups are useless if you can’t read the files without the Win95 software.
