I'm not sure the extensive roll of systems you've used labels you as the huge nerd you are as much as your repeated assertions throughout that you still want to own some of these relics. It would be interesting, though, to be able to go back, platform by platform, and do benchmarks of fmd5 on each one. r Impressive.

mdutil -E /Volume/name
