Including this list, apparently, as I've been following this thread and seeing varous listers vehemently insisting that Norton Utilities is worse than bad news. Now, is this "Avoid Norton Utilities like the plague!" advice solely for people running OS X (as the originator of this thread does), or does it extend to OS 9.x and lower as well? I ask because I used Norton Utilities Disk Doctor and Speed Disk for YEARS (on hard drives running OS's 7.5.3 through 9.2.2) and never ONCE had a problem with either. While in the last year or two maybe (can't remember exactly when I first tried it), I've come to prefer the Tech Tools Multitester over Disk Doctor (so I don't use Disk Doctor at all anymore), I do still use Speed Disk. I just don't see what all this anti-Norton ruckus is about -- so what exactly is so horrible about it that other drive utilities aren't guilty of? Or is this just an OS X thing? ~Yersinia. ________ "Jack Kevorkian for White House Physician." -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
