I agree with you (and James), this is really the only app you ever need when you're using OS X. > The only thing I don't like about DW is having to buy a new bootable CD > (not full price, mind you) when you get a new system that isn't > supported by the old DW boot CD. Yes indeed, but there is a possibility that if you have a 3.0 CD you can download the 3.0.2 CD updater, than 'image' the 3.0 CD, update it to 3.0.2 and then burn it again with Toast, that's what I've done myself. http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html#Panther But indeed f.e. example if you get a G5 you have to get a new CD from them. About the OS 9 thingy, you can always install OS 9 after you've installed OS X, *but* like Dan pointed out, if you've formatted the HD with Disk Utility from the OS X CD and you did *not* select 'Install OS 9 drivers' (which by default is de-selected) there is no possibility to boot into OS 9. Unfortunately you have to start from scratch then. Or install OS 9 on another partition or HD which does have the OS 9 drivers installed, perhaps use the backup HD for that purpose? BTW about the OS 9 apps, 9 out of 10 times you can just drag the apps to the 'Applications (Mac OS 9)' folder and they just work fine w/o using an installer. Works for most OS X apps aswell if you copy them into the Applications folder. HTH, Marc * * -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
