@djlink my mind filled in the ka chookachuk sounds of the hard disk moving back and forth. I'm not even sure it really made much sound, but my in my head defrag had a specific sound to it...
@djlink I can hear this Gif.

Thank you for this.
@djlink
Watching a computer defrag at the end of an awful day, was very relaxing.
@djlink Oh no, I have misplaced nostalgia
@djlink Used to love watching that
@djlink Thanks! That was refreshingly quick on a not too fragmented drive. I remember this taking what felt like forever to me back then. Also, I can hear the drive doing its thing while watching the video (in my mind). Great!

@djlink
Can almost hear the disk clicking ...
@djlink ha! hours were spend looking at that :)
@djlink God, I miss Windows 95... I might need to switch to Linux just so I can find a windows 95 custom theme or something
@djlink sending this to UX/UI coworkers to remind them we used to have standards
I watched this mesmerizing screen many a times.
@djlink it's like brushing vinyls
