Norton tools

[Paul Knight]

I'll add my penniworth to this discussion.

  I used the  Norton package  for several years and it certainly did 
save my bacon on occasions.    However for the last 4 or 5 years I 
have stayed  completely away from the product and instead use 
TechTools Pro and Disk Warrior in combination.  (Still on OS 9.2.2) 
I found that Norton tools became totally destructive of external 
back-up devices (SCSI at that time such as Iomega Jaz) and caused me 
great angst and financial cost.  I know of others who had similar 
problems.   I also found that if you ran Disk Doctor a second time, 
it would find  exactly the same problems that it had just claimed to 
have fixed.   I find that TechTools does a reliable job of 
defragmentation.

I have had similar destructive results to the system with NAV too. 
I think Norton just did not care about Mac's for a while, and now I 
just don't trust the software.
