You may be right! But, back then, Google Drive, Github and Itch, did not exist... But I know what you mean... lol Hard drive have come a long way since then... They are not perfect but they have improved quite a bit... My current system uses an SSD and so far there have been no issues... When I first started using computers (about 1978/1979) I used to store programs on cassette tapes! Talk about slow and unreliable... but it was all I could afford... Hard drives were too expensive...
Logic is the beginning of wisdom.
