I think it also reflects your (user’s/consumer’s) commitment to the solution — do you want sturdy, hard-to-change brick walls or paper-covered “chalk” sheets screwed onto some wood frame?

I visited my accounts. I have almost a terabyte of data and media going years back. Zaps dumpster overflowing based on outdated ideas.
