--HOWEVER, if people would just put more actual RAM in their boxes, lots of swap space becomes redundant. (If you have 4GB+ RAM and a 64-bit host OS, you can prolly get away with 64-512MB of Swap.)

--Defragging could still be useful, even on flash drives. If all your files are kept sequential, there's no need to skip around looking for the next filepart.

Why should backups be bogging down their performance? Auto-schedule the backup for just after "business hours", and let them go home w/o having to take WORK with them.
--Erm... It's said that Teh Apocalypse may actually involve ASTEROIDS// debris from space... Guess who gets hit 1st then?
--Regardless; I may apply for an Ops position at the Space Hyatt (or whatever) if this really happens. Instead of paying $millions, I get paid to WORK IN SPACE. How freakin' cool would that be?;-)

--Anyhow -- Star Trek knew about the whole "magnetic bottle" thing back in the 60's. They were talking about "dilithium crystals", but the concept evidently carries over IRL.
