OT: Harddisk defragmantation

[Fyron]

Ahem... Mac? There are millions of people out there that know how to turn on their computer and use it, but have less than 0 knowledge about the internal workings of it. And not all of them are morons either.

Then you should try it at three a clock in the morning, then it's much more fun!
That's when I found it!

but Fyron, this procedure is not meant for them. That is why Docktor Nårton says: "...if you don't know how to do that, You'll ought to stop reading right now, since your knowledge about datamachines is way to low.
Don't be surprised, it won't look like the disc on your turntable."

anyway, I defraggled my motherdisc and it worked great . Good thing I still had a box of Svinto in my kitchen from my Last trip to Malmö (Svinto is a Swedish brand of Steel wool added with soap, ask for at your nearest convenience store).

Since I had the motherdisc already open, I also decided to make a new partition. I used a few data chisels (a hacksaw also works good) to cut all the discs in two.

Be careful when you do this, that you don't mix up which parts belong together.

It is a bit more difficult than the standard defraggle process to get all the parts together after you devide the discs. But a little bit of peanut butter can be of great help. That also serves as a lubricant for later and makes your motherdisc run faster and more quiet.

Anyway... after I am done my motherdisc runs very fast and booting the computer takes almost no time. And now I have not only a C: drive, but also an Ö: drive .

Dude took steel wool to his computer.

You are greatly overestimating the vast majority of people...

Just for fun, I think I'll start using the Docktor Nårton terminology when I talk with my coworkers...

PC = data machine
hard drive = motherdisc
defragment = defraggle
internet = interweb

Edit:
Also, some cool Swedish sayings!

"Sometimes there are as little time as it is money, just as far as the noose goes"
"You'll be able to fix to most malignant bugs who throw pokes in your wheels"
"I fly whom walks on it's toes across a river, doesn't make a summer"
"At the same time, to flies on one blow"

I have no idea what they mean, but they sound kind of neat.

Maybe I can say these and impress the people who work at Ikea when I visit that store next time. I noticed some pretty attractive-looking girls working there Last time I went there. Come to think of it, perhaps I can pick up some Svinto steel wool at Ikea... (In my city, they have Swedish furniture stores called Ikea, they sell good-quality, fairly-priced furniture, and they also sell some various Swedish goods as well. )
