I have used DiskWarrior twice, when drives were damaged beyond what 
Disk Utility and the Unix-based tools could repair... it is a nice 
panic reducer to have something like that on hand when the problem 
does arise.  While I have never had to use it on my Powerbook, I did 
use it on a connected firewire drive.

My need for DiskWarrior has always been related to power blips... 
even the best laid plans can't account for them.
