Hi James
It makes me sad to see so many on the list promote their own views as if they knew anything.
Did you see ext3 defragmentation feedback too ?
Kind regards Philippe
Yes. It's amazing in this day & age that so many people think defragging is a normal part of computing. I suppose they still use a crank to start their cars. I can't understand why MS hasn't moved to a new file system. And why isn't NTFS fragmentation resistant? It's newer than HPFS, which NT was originally designed to run on. HPFS has been frag resistant ever since it was released in 1989. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Microsoft keeps users expectations low. that way, when they introduce something truly ancient and outdated, their users will go OOOOOOOH! AAAAAAAH! because the userbase is conceptually still stuck in the 1950's.
