[G4] disc warrior/norton utilities

[David Crandon]

There is a lot of controversy regarding Norton Utilities. I've been 
using all six versions since 3.x and have never had a problem. 
Including the OSX versions. While there are people that have had 
problems, to put it simply, if it was that bad it wouldn't still be on 
the market after 10 years.

Regarding DiskWarrior...your OS9 version will word fine for your OSX 
installation. Simply boot from the DW disk. It will be very slow 
though...
