Struan,
Sorry I wasn't talking about your posting but the one you were responding
to, probably I got it wrong, but I just wanted to point out that the
defrag exemple wasn't the best exemple to illustrate your point since it's
just programming oriented with no free will needed to performed a choice:
it's a perfect predetermined guess that one can predict at any time (the
choice of the computer that perform a quick or a full defrag).
