I thought 8.3 filenames were obsolete, even on Windows? Do your juniors even have any idea what you are talking about?

It is quite obsolete, but we can still use them in modern windows for legacy program support.

As for whether such legacy program exist anymore it is a mystery.

I still use .htm as an extension name for HTML files, even though all modern OS' can support .html. I wonder how common that is.
