So I just had one of those moments that boggled my mind.

I opened my music player (foobar) & played the song at the top of the playlist. Music plays.

~2 seconds later I hear the hard disk on which the music is stored powering up. Meaning that Windows superfetch predicted I'd play exactly that song & loaded it into memory for good measure. NB computer and music player had both been started fairly recently, so it wasn't in memory from previous plays.

I know superfetch is *supposed* to do that, but somehow it was still impressive seeing that it at work flawlessly and isn't all marketing. :)

Anyway, just felt like sharing - please ignore if you don't care.
