    Quite true. Evolution....I might say (sweet seeds don't survive while sweet fruits are in great demand and hence get passed along to the next generation).

All I can find however seem to be older commercial products which makes me think they are snake oil for those who are unsure.
    To be honest I never even used to defrag my Windows...To me it really doesn't make such big a difference to go through the trouble
