I recently had a similar experience.  I had just purchased ProSel 16 and
decided to give it a run for the money.  I did a full backup of both
partitions (65 meg. hd) and ran the volume test/repair.  I was shocked at
how many problems it found and fixed!  I've only had the drive for 6
months.  Who knows how long I've been sitting on a time bomb.  I then ran
BeachComber 32 (which took two hours+ for each partition) and was quite
pleased with how much it has reduced the "thrashing" (due to segmentation).
How did I live without this?

I have one question along this line:  How does one find out about & get
ahold of the latest updates to ProSel?  I know about the online services
(GEnie, AO, etc.) that he lives on, but I currently don't have access to
them.  If I go the snail mail route, how do I find out when he's done an
update?  (He doesn't mail everybody a notice does he?)  Is it considered
"kosher" to get it from some one else who has the online access?

Thanks in advance.

Phil
