Caveat: the freebies will not actually fix any disk-related problems
(these are pretty complex issues), so, you can't rely on to fix your
disk(s).
Eric (dreading the re-install of OS X which is looming over my
computer... maybe I should go out and get OS X 10.4 while I'm at
it?... this particular install was installed Nov/03 so I've got the
better part of two years out of it (and, this is from someone who'd
reinstall OS 8/9 every three months or so just to weed out the OS 9
chaff that would build up in such a short period ;-)).
Eric.
