That’s simply not true. I use S3 (well GCS mostly) for data that I wouldn’t be upset if it’s lost. And I pay the zonal discount for it.

I can see that working today in dentistry more so than general practice. I’ve got medication that insurance has dictated that I need to refill a weekly med monthly and it arrives precisely the week I need to take it. I need to time my vacations around this med now.

I get that I’m ranting against healthcare and not doctors, but I’d run far from any doctor that’s paper only these days.

This is a great assessment that I never realized until you said it. There are so many games from that era that I played that fit that mold. I was playing Leisure Suit Larry as a 10 year old! I can’t imagine parents these days letting their kids play that at all!
