[G4] Re: Disk First Aid, Diskwarrior Compatibility with OS 10.2.8

[Al Poulin]

Hello Anne:

Sorry for the delay, I'm just catching up on a few days worth of 
digests.

For your directories and defragmenting, your OS X does that in the 
background as you work.  The useful utilities like MacJanitor and OnyX 
are useful for other UNIX things.  You should use the Disk Utility on 
your hard drive to Repair Disk Permissions on occasion, say monthly, 
and after any time you install or update software.

 From my look at web sites for Diskwarrior and Techtool Pro, I believe 
it is best to buy the OS X version, but those who have used these 
utilities, both upgrade versions and new, should chime in here.
