Backwards compatibility isn't silly.

farming n.

 [Adelaide University, Australia] What the heads
   of a disk drive are said to do when they plow little furrows in the
   magnetic media.  Associated with a crash.  Typically used as
   follows: "Oh no, the machine has just crashed; I hope the hard
   drive hasn't gone farming again." No longer common; modern
   drives automatically park their heads in a safe zone on
   power-down, so it takes a real mechanical problem to induce this.
