iClean/Carbon Copy Cloner

[matblack at mac.com]

On another note... in the spirit of freeing up some HD space... I 
bought iClean, and sadly, ran it.

This is without a doubt one of the worst "Norton" products ever 
produced. Unless you really, really understand OSX very well, it 
essentially gives you an option to trash a lot of files that are 
reasonably critical to happy computing.

As it turns out I did just that. Very bad and messy and a major pain in 
the Caboose!

Fortunately I had just made a bootable backup with Carbon Copy Cloner. 
Although I will say this... restoring (ie reverse cloning) took ages 
and hung on 5 different occasions... took me all day just to get back 
to square one.

Saved my bacon nonetheless...

For all the newbies... learn from my over zealousness... if your system 
is not broke, don't even try to optimize... it's probably not really 
worth the trouble, the gains will be minimal, and should something go 
awry it's most definitely not worth the trouble!

My two cents...
