Ah.. i just remembred defragging. That used to be a part of life, it was
kind of satisfying to watch those green squares move around. Is defragging
even still necessary? I havent done it in decades but i used to alot
for some reason

of little cubes moving around as the disk was defragmented

It's still necessary if you use hard drives, but newer Windows versions 
do it in the background automatically by default. We are truly living 
in the future ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

There were quite a few that did something like that, maybe you can find 
it in this list:

I'm currently using MyDefrag, which I'm pretty sure I used to use at 
some point many years ago, though I don't really remember. It seems 
very slow, but that might just be because I'm running it on an old P4 
machine with the original crappy IDE hard drive it came with (;^Д^)
