Happy F.A.T. Tuesday

 

That day each year when we gather together to perform the Defragging of the Hard Drive.

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.

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.

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.

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