@Natasha_Jay I have fond memories of defragging hard drives. I might even be a little nostalgic for it.

Scan disk however, not so much. It took forever and if you accidentally bumped the desk or jiggled the mouse then it had to start all over. ๐Ÿคฌ

@Natasha_Jay @Natasha_Jay You're reminding me that I'm the autistic kid who loved to go round other kids houses and introduce them to defrag. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I'm old enough that someone gave me a utility that parked the HDD drive heads so you could safely turn off the PC. I'm know wondering if that was really needed, even back then.

If you ever feel you miss defragging from Windumb buy a 3D printer and watch it printing layer by layer. ๐Ÿ˜‰
