I also ran such a program on my machine for a while, but tired of the delay
that it induced into disk access time - noticeable.  In addition, I am
inclined to question the sensitivity of current day hard disks to the type of
perturbation that Rich Wales mentions, e.g. - earthquakes, someone bumping
desk. 

In that vein, it would be interesting to hear from some Santa Cruz, San
Francisco, Oakland triangle people who were using there systems during the
recent 'unpleasantness'.
