A piece of a file. When a file is written to a hard drive it is sometimes written in multiple fragments because there is no contiguous space available that is large enough to store the file. See fragmentation.

Fragment - By Frank Bajak, AP Technology Editor, 2/27/2004NEW YORK -- E-mail is crippled, concussed by an irrepressible spamstream. Web surfing can be equally confounding, a wobbly wade throughbursts of pop-ups and loudmouthed video ads.And that may explain the excitement these days over a somewhat crudebut nifty software tool that automatically delivers updatedinformation to your computer directly from your favorite Web sites.Enthusiasts see these Web feeds as sketching the outline of the nextNet revolution.The technology behind them is called RSS and I rely on it daily toconsult The New York Times, the BBC, CNET News, Slashdot and a fewdozen other Web sites that employ RSS to make the very latest newsstories or bits of commentary available for the plucking.Aided by software on my computer that goes out and retrieves myfeeds, I swiftly sort through headlines and summaries. By clicking onincluded hyperlinks, I can visit originating sites for more detail.http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2004/02/27/enthusiasts_call_web_feed_next_big_thing/
