Even for simple drag-to-install apps, there would nearly always be preference files, logs, and a few other items stored elsewhere. Of course, it wasn’t quite true that apps were self-contained. Done! Everything you needed was contained in the application package - a folder that looks and acts like a single file. To install them, you dragged them to your Applications folder, and to uninstall them, you dragged them from there to the Trash. In the early days of Mac OS X, Apple made a big deal about how most applications were, by design, self-contained.
