[MacDV] Re: Disk fragmentation

I agree. I did swear by it for years though, but then it went pear  
shaped and would just seem to a) not work or b) screw things up, that  
was of course when it would boot.

I'm not convinced that they have OSX under control yet either, since  
they list their requirements as OS 10.1 and higher. The difference  
between 10.1 and 10.2+ is fairly dramatic I think. To have something  
not specifically tailored to reflect those changes is worrisome.

Knock on wood, I don't need anything like Norton right now, but know I  
will eventually...
