The legacy IBM file types still reign in the financial industry, frozen forevermore in the 3390 geometry. I wonder if the boxes emulating these can ever run afoul of this and need to be virtually defragged. I wouldn't think so, but a few years ago we were getting 'queue contention' on a given virtual 3390 volume that had no real physical existence.
There is rumor that The present government to make government small. Has decided to combine F.A.T. Day with Trump/ Epstein files Day. This is fine with me as long as they leave "Talk Like A Pirate Day" alone and exist solely on its own day.

One time one of my speed freak friends got ahold of (read that horded) about a dozen 500MB hard drives, each about the size of a toaster oven.

Memories of watching that defrag process onscreen, with the little colored boxes jumping around and lining back up.
