Of course you are right, and I don't think anyone actually buys DiskExpress
to unfragment thier floppies, but it's a nice added benefit for those of
us who have only one floppy disk drive. (and who don't want to copy files 
from floppy, to hard disk to new floppy, since that will only speed up
fragementation of the hard disk.) Someday I'll get myself a second floppy
drive; as soon as those 1.6 meg drives come out...
