System Works 3.0 for OX 10.3 and later vs Diskwarrior. This in view of

Hi Bill
Well, I think that I am a fairly hard user.
I do not want to be too precious with my computer(s) so as to get full
value from them.
This would lead most to think that I should be running regular
maintenance, they may be right, but I don't bother.
Especially since OSX.
Windows taught me that a repaired OS would often be walking-wounded OS
anyway.
I know I do intensive and potentially risky activities with my Mac, so I
wonder sometimes "why the doctor?"
If I am getting disk issues, I remain unaffected (touch silicone;).
I regularly back up manually (DVDR), I find this easiest.
I have not NEEDED to reinstall since OSX began.
Repair permissions has been the only maintenance I've needed to do. It
was minor anyway.
Maybe I'm softer on the OS than I thought ;)
Cheers
Paul
