I knew this would happen. The instant I saw "defrag", I went "DOH!"
So obviously the right answer!
To the five of you who suggested that,
I thank you!
There were two others I hadn't thought of...

- Burping! I laughed out loud when I saw that. Very creative!
Thank you for the smile :-)
Thanks all. The thread was fun reading.
