Diskeeper Hugs a Tree
Due to a record pace for company software volume license sales in 2006 (thanks to our customers volume sales have been up 4 quarters in a row), Diskeeper Corporation is returning the favor to the environment. The next Diskeeper version will be using chlorine-free, recycled paper for its retail packaged Diskeeper products. And, it's a practice we plan to continue for the future.

The huge revenue boost also allows us to concentrate on the expansion of our R&D teams - we actually have two independently operating Research teams in addition to our product-specific development groups. It's the Research program teams that have produced some of the current defragmentation pioneering technologies in Diskeeper 9 & 10, as well as the industry-wide ground breaking new technology that is at the core of the new upcoming release. A recent key acquisition to the team is Rick Cadruvi, the original co-creator (with our CEO) of Diskeeper for OpenVMS (back in the 80's). Rick was well known as one of the premier industry experts on OpenVMS operating system design. With many years of in-depth technical expertise on Windows, he re-joins us as a technology leader, and is already quite busy inventing great new technologies.
Look forward as we (the staff of Diskeeper Corporation) return our thanks for purchasing Diskeeper Corporation products in the form of revolutionary and technology leading new products to make your computers run faster and more efficiently.

So Rick is back at Diskeeper. It's come full circle. If Rick could only see my coding style now. I'll put money on the fact that I have fewer elses in my driver than any other driver of comparable magnitude that has to talk to complex hardware as is the case with mine. On top of that all the variable names line up in the decls and also the = signs for a series of assignments. Just think if i'd had that mindset about 18 years ago when I worked on ioexpress!
