Thank you AJ,

I am of that crowd that associates the perception of 'speed' with 
accurate, unfragmented Directories, efficient use of 'scratch' drives 
in big applications, maximum RAM, etc.

I could be the Poster 'Boy' for Norton Speed Disk, and if Alsoft ever 
gets it together for OSX, them too.<-- DiskWarrior 3.0 is NOT ready 
for Prime Time, if anyone's interested in an opinion from the 
'trenches', by the way.

Thanks for the link. I will be scouring Resexcellence, the O'Reilly 
pages, this list, and Woz.org's OSX links, etc, before doing 
anything, once I have the means to offload my files and the apps that 
can be transported back and forth.
