I'm new to owning a G4 powerbok (been a 5300c owner for years, but it finally died), and am in the process of tweaking my new machine, and Tiger. I'd like to get some disk utilities--I've previously owned TechTools and was going to get the OSX version, and then saw an ad for DiskWarrior.
I have Tech Tool Pro - it came with the AppleCare Warranty. It has done nothing useful for me in 7 years. DiskWarrior, on the other hand, is *THE* tool that will save your ass when disaster strikes. I've recovered a few nasty situations with it, and rescued some friends as well. It has never made a mess of anything, nor has it failed to recover damaged disks. For my money it's the one utility you can't afford to be without.
Do you all recommend one over the other, both, neither? (And while we're at it, what are some of your favorite add-ons and widgets? I did just install Compost, since I like the idea of having more control over trash functions. :) )
Someone already mentioned DefaultFolder X, which is great. I still think that TypeIt4Me is my most valued utility. PopChar X is also very useful.
