You're fortunate. Not all of us have the luxury. Don't get me wrong. Defrag, as evil as it may be, is still a valid tool. Don't do unnatural acts just to avoid it. And, ad nauseum, as I said before, don't just defrag for its own sake. That's what the fragmentation index is for. Again, think of it as an insurance policy. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
