No I do. But that last delivery guy didn't like it. He wanted to be used on the dining room table.

I run Diskkeeper on the win2k machine I basically use as server almost daily. I use its scheduling features on each hd (a 13gb partitioned c/d, and seperate 200/160/250gb drives) and have never had an issue.

Am I the only one here who uses a UPS on my computers?
nope

i was waiting to see who would come up with the actual solution

There are traders and then there are Traders, hmm?

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

I'd like one, but by budget doesn't have room for one at the moment.

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Must be a PC thing.

Uninterruptable Power Supply I believe. You guys use them in case of storms or what? Never had a use for one over here on the west coast

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

Seriously, I use one. Two actually. One on my PC and one on my Mac. The Mac is the important one to have it on since that's my work computer.

And I live in California. Don't you have power outages in National City?

SIBLY, what gave you the impression that noone used UPSs?

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

when my power goes out, my whole place is dark but my computer and monitor remain fully functional for about 20 minutes. I get a chance to save everything and shut down properly. my power only goes out a couple times a year, but I'm very glad to have a UPS when it does.

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

We get power outages very rarely. I can't even remember the last time it went out. I also can't remember the last time I *needed* to use the computer so bad that I couldn't wait an hour or so. I can see where it would be useful if you do work that you don't save and leave open but otherwise, my computer losing power isn't a significant worry.

Re: Defragging drives with shn/flac files?

Well mine only have about 5-10 min so definitely it's just for saving. If I'm desperate when the power is out, like I was the night it was out for 6 hours, I can use my laptop.
