[G4] Partitioning Software

[Wayne Clodfelter]

Good points, all, and I agree this is the best use of the first $65  
or whatever. But having some brand of "emergency repair/recovery"  
software is still a good idea. I've acquired all of them over the  
years and still find uses for each of them on occasion. But a second,  
third, fourth, ad infinitum, drive is always worthwhile. I remember  
when even small drives were around five-hundred bucks. It's crazy, at  
today's prices, not to have all the storage/backup you want or need.
