With an older computer and a slower hard drive, fragmentation would be a
bigger issue. Also, if your computer has lots of free disk space,
fragmentation wouldn't affect you. In any case, defragging a hard drive
can't hurt anything, costs nothing, and may result in some improvement.

Updated from 2007 with only one issue noted so far: The backup option is
messed up. What is so hard about simply copying a file??? When I try to
back up to a CD-RW, it says it cannot write to it (I ended up copying my
hard-drive backup to the CD-RW manually). Also, it appears it can no
longer break up a file, so no more backup to floppies!!

I use Microsoft's free SyncToy 2.1 to back up several folders to an
external drive. That includes backing up the Quicken data. There is also
a Ghost backup of the drive. The external stuff is for further 'away-
from-computer' and off-site backups.
