I thank you all for the help, and complete as follows:

Well, I don't really remember actually, I recall that this was one of the descriptions of the fragmentation status in the nomenclature of N.U. Another was "Slight fragmentation" and so on... (when not running in expert-mode where you got the fragmentation in percentage). This was a flashback, and nothing else. I don't know what my fragmentation is in this case. I do, however, suffer from a slower HD than I am used to. Isn't a defragmentation a good idea? Thanks again/ S.J. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
