Hmm, well, I'll have to go bother "El Presidente" Dale Larson of Intangible
Assets Manufacturing (IAM), the North American distributor of AFS, to loan
me a copy and do some testing.

I can't say that I'll be able to do this real soon, as I'm very busy at the
moment, but will try to schedule it in the near future.  It certainly sounds
like there are some real performance advantages.

I find it odd that one of AFS's key features is the prevention of
total disk failures, did not work in your application of InfoChannel.
