How come? Up until the time it stopped working for me 6-7 months ago or so -- and I suspect it's because my version of it, 3.5.1, is "too old" -- I thought Norton was wonderful. Actually, since it still works on my (really out of date!) Powerbook 190, I still use it there. I just can't use it on my G3, that's all. It's been suggested to me that my version is too old to deal with HFS+ formatted HDs, and that's why it won't Disk Doctor or Speed Disk on my G3.... <TechTool Pro is very good for other uses.> Such as? <But Disk Warrior is _the_ tool to use when volumes won't mount. That's the problem Disk Warrior is specifically designed to fix. It is a must-have utility for later versions of the classic Mac OS.> Well, perhaps Norton can't do everything, even if I did have the most up-to-date version of it...? <And no, I don't work for Alsoft ;)> I didn't suspect you did. I'm just as enthusiastic about the software I love, such as my email client which I can thankfully still use, and I was also hanging on to my word processing app for months after OS 9 messed it up, to the point where I was starting up from a HD with OS 8 so I could use it. I finally gave in on that point, but....it's taking me some time to get used to it. OK, so Alsoft makes DiskWarrior huh? Guess I'll have to cruise on over to their site and check it out....
