    Defragging

    Recently a neighbor has invited me round to fix a problem (Morpheus took over all media, nothing would play because they uninstalled it), and tehy were asking me to fix other various bits and bobs. They said it wasnt automatially defragging anymore (I thought "So?", iv'e never really noticed much difference from defragging), anyway, they wanted it to run every monday... WHY???

    Its a rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishty slow 4-500Mhz P3, less than 200mb ram on windows 98; What do you expect defragging to do? Your on 56k and dont install anything so nothing is going to fragment anyway.

    Anyway, fixed that and im supposed to be setting up a windows XP rig for ~£200

    So, instead of having to do one whopping defrag, they can do a tiny weekly one? Seems like good maintainance to me, I'd do the same if I could arsed

    <sigh> i have a machine just like that in my house at the moment - am "fixing" it for a woman at work - basically formatting some sense into it & starting again with a fresh XP installation cos she's filled her HDD with stuff like webshots
    if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
