[P1] Utilities to run on ibook: dw vs. tt

[Erin Randel]

Right now disk first aid says I have and invalid volume file count and 
a missing thread count.

The larger issue is that I was so excited to be off the old 8500 i used 
to work on, that it didn't occur to me the ibook would need 
maintenance. Like, at all. And it went to a blue screen in November and 
I didn't know what to do except shell out for applecare. Grr. Now I 
know about the install disks (nice that the manuals are online, where 
you can't read them until you've fixed the machine ;) Grr again. And 
I'm trying to figure out which program will help me fix the above 
issues so i don't have to reinstall (i don't know how to do that 
either) the hard drive, as applecare threatened i might have to.

But also that the program i buy might help me out in the future, 
especially if I run it once a week or month or however often i should. 
. .

By the way, how and how often to you "backup" your data? This is just 
your files, right?

Thanks to all who've responded so far!!!
