netsmurfYour Knight In Shining......Code?
As much as we might like to think that we know what makes our Macs work, there is a lot of stuff happening "under the hood" that only a hard core code monkey would truly understand.
No matter how well we take care of our computers, eventually they start to feel a little sub par.
Applications may open or run a little slower, or minor, unexplained glitches pop up at inopportune moments.
Back in the bad old days when I was a PC user (GASP, SHOCK, HORROR), the solution was usually to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows if you wanted that fresh, snappy feeling.
Fortunately, as a Mac user now, there is a much simpler solution.
Enter DiskWarrior, Really Long Link
This is a quote direct from their site;
"DiskWarrior uses a different approach to disk directory repair than other programs.
DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files, folders and documents that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover."
Now, I'm not entirely sure what a directory is, how it gets damaged in the first place, or how I would repair it without DiskWarrior. What I do know is, my computer runs noticeably better after its biannual trip to the DiskWarrior doctor.
At $99.95, this is not a particularly cheap piece of software, but it is worth every penny.
I use it almost daily in my job, and have had seemingly hopeless cases resurrected by this program.
I highly recommend this software to EVERYONE, without exception.
If it saves you just a single trip to your local Apple tech, it will have paid for itself!
