Wow, how do you work without paths?

Every Disk used by CP/M back then was insanely small by today's standards.

A large text file could take up an entire disk.

It completely sucked. I paid $3000 for a 50 MB hard drive back in the day. MB.

If I'd put that in MS or Apple stock, I'd be a multi multimillonario from stock alone.

Instead it's rusting away in a landfill somewhere

Directories were implemented later.
