>Does anybody out there use "Disk Express"?  Did you notice a large improvement

	I use DiskExpress all the time, without troubles. The only thing
you need to watch out for is copy-protected applications; some of them
will barf if you try to use them after optimizing your disk, but this
happens only on floppies, not on hard disks.

	I notice some improvement; it's not massive, but it is noticeable.

	I've had no problems using DE on a Mac Plus with Apple HD20SC, HD20,
DataFrame XP, Mac SE with accelerator card and DataFrame XP, Mac II with 
DataFrame XP, and Mac II with various Apple SC hard disks.

Caveats: Back up your hard disk IMMEDIATELY before you use DE. If the power
goes off, or something crashes while an optimization is in progress, your
hard disk will be TRASHED. Trust me. It happened to me once.

Otherwise, it's a great program.
