5.1 Silverlining is out and it has some nice new features. It has a built in
defragmenter, it let's you time the data transfer loops to see which is faster,
it let you see the boot & driver partitions, it lets you create AUX partitions
(there are 7 partition types for unix stuf), it lets you installdifferent
drivers, you can have scratch & free space partitions.

The defragmenter also works on other drives (even floppies!) and allows you
to erase free space.

You can convert older versions of Silverlining formated drives, it moves things
around and does what it needs to. It freed up about 500k after the conversion.

The defragmenting is pretty fast and shows the estimated time to completion.

This software works on a number of different drives in case you don't have a
LaCie and is the best disk formatter/manager I know of. It can be purchased
seperately if you have a Non-LaCie drive.

We have a dozen or more LaCie drives here where I work and I have recommended
LaCies to a dozen or more friends. I'm also the first one to reccomend LaCie
over a year and a half ago here on the net and I still think there one of the
best. They use to be the cheapest but now have competition from Ehman and 
others.


Disclamer: I have no connection with LaCie except as a satisfied customer of
over 1-1/2 years.
