Kirk is sort of right. Cocktail does more than he thinks it does, but 
it's not "all you need."

Here's the top tools in my toolbox:
1. OnyX (essentially the same thing as Cocktail, just free!)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner for backups to an external HD.
3. Check Preference Files, freeware.
4. Disk Utility, included with the OS.
5. DiskWarrior and/or TechTool Pro on a bootable CD.
6. REGULAR, VERIFIED BACKUPS. Alluded to in point 2 above but really 
can't be stressed enough.

Have you noticed that this administration's harshest critics are ... 
lifelong Republicans?
Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neil, John McCain, Scott Ritter, John Dean ... 
and the list goes on ...
