I don't have much in the way of files and documents and stuff, since my laptop is used just for fun, so defrag doesn't take all that long.

I love them. I just wish I knew how to do more stuff on them. My laptop is 3 years old today (happy birthday lappy), and it still works very well. I have a couple of antivirus programs working on a daily basis, a regular "full scan" scheduled to do whatever it does, and also a regularly scheduled defragmentation program that runs twice a year. You know already that every time you open files on your hard drive the computer searches them out and when you close that file it just stays where you left it, so after a while they're all over the place instead of being neat and tidy. This is where the defrag. program comes in. You set it running and depending on how messed up your hard drive is it can take several hours or ovrnight to sort the files and put them where they belong. This in turn makes it easier and faster for your computer to find the file you're wanting. Now and again I go into my documents or pictures files and go through everything thoroughly, deleting those which I no longer want or need. If I think I might still want something, but just not right now, I'll print a copy and file it in a folder in the drawer. Then delete it and save more space. uncluttering this way helps the computer keep up to speed. That's my opinion anyway. So I don't have any need for the lolo system, but thanks for the offer anyway.
