I'm 32 and at 10 years old I loved watching Windows 98 defrag. <ramble> I also loved Flashget downloading files 10 threads at a time. 10 mb resumable download in 5 hours was amazing for me. A few years later I was ricing Linux with a dangerous tool that prepends binaries with its shared objects dependencies so that every program launch is a contiguous read. Ubuntu then added it as post-trigger to its package manager. There was a hellish period between when Ubuntu removed that trigger and I finally got an SSD (Indian markets still get HDDs).
