Defragging your hard drive is still somewhat a controversial subject. Some people believe they are just born that way and there is nothing you can do about it. Some people believe that it is a choice the hard drive makes. Personally, whatever they do in the privacy of their own CPU is their business. Just don't try anything funny on me at a bar! I'll say that! But trying to "defrag" it is done in some circles. It usually involves a priest or intense therapy. Or sometimes both. However you go about it, try being a little more sensitive. I don't think they like the work "frag".

Ugh. I know how you feel. I once typed out a 6 page letter to Emelio Estevez, only to turn on my computer and find it wasn't there!!! I turned it back off again and typed it again, only to encounter the same problem. I think my cpu is broke, but it's the only one I've got. The green glow from the monitor hurts my eyes, so I prefer working with the CPU off. Unless, of cours I'm playing Oregon Trail!
