kinda OT but i always wanted to thank you for lmdd and lmbench Larry. 
we relied heavily on those tools early in my carrier building high-rez 
video playback suites for film/vfx studios.  i remember my mentor at the 
time teaching me about optimal track layout, and using only the outer 
tracks on disks to achieve sustained throughput, using lmdd.  they also 
uncovered more than a few bugs on irix and linux for us.

so...thanks!
