- [NOTES] Basically there is nothing really to Explain about DiskSpeed. All
- you do is simply run the program "DISKSPD". The Program Will Check
- the amount of Cylinders you have on your drive, and test an
- Appropriate amount. If you want to test Quickly, you can just hit
- a key, and it will about the full test, but you will still get
- an estimated read out. To get somewhat of an accurate reading, wait
- until at least four clicks before stopping. The most accurate reading
- will be given when the program finishes automatically. The Program
- will then give you the Drive Speed in Milliseconds (ms) which is the
- common Hard Disk speed testing unit. DiskSpeed will also work on
- floppy drives.

- [USES] What should I use this for? you ask. Well for starters, this can
- protect you against fraud. A little far fetched? Mabye. But, it is
- common of people to sell you a drive which is slower than advertised,
- thinking "ah, the stupid enduser will never know the difference". Also,
- If you use your hard disk alot, it slows down after a while because
- of data being stored all over the drive in different parts. That's
- where a disk optimizer comes in. You can use this to tell you when
- it's time to break out the ol' Optimizer!
