Hi Michael,

This question illustrates how our access to "information" has changed since the 1990's where all linux/nix tech was best discussed in newsgroups and mailing lists, and today where extensive immediate sources are available from the RIGHT SOURCE.

I understand that Michael is usually interested in fostering discussion on the list, and through that finds he learns and retains information better, but I usually experience my inner voice yelling:  "USE THE SOURCE Luke"

Windows stores data sequentially like so: 
11112222333344445555 
and if you were to delete 2 and 5 then you were to save more data it would be 
11116666333344446666 
linux scatters the data around your disk like so:
1111000022220000333300004444000055550000
then you delete 2 and five and then write more data it would look like:  
11110000000000003333000044440000000000006666

is my understanding of this correct?
