Anyone use it? Supposedly it's good for amateurs like me. I would never use it. When I get clogged up I do a format and rebuild. Over the years I have probably averaged twice a year. As infinitely painful as it is.... this is the best advice. If you're a simple user like The Freak, I might agree. For those who have lots of applications they use and would have to reinstall, it's a bloody waste of time. Registry Mechanic does a decent job. Vista and Win 7 both do a good job of keeping the disc defragged. Two of the aspects of Windozes I don't miss: the registry the need to defrag hard drives There is no registry in the Apple OS, and it is pretty simple to remove a program and all its pieces and parts. Also, the OS seems to keep the drive(s) pretty much defragged on its own. Backups and restores are much easier, too. But I still like Windoze. That's where I was headed with this.... defragging is a fragging waste of time.... better spend wiping and re-installing. So far, I haven't seen the need to do that, gene. Before I sold off my iMac to buy a new iMac, I made a backup of its hard drive and "migrated" that backup to my macbook pro. In less than 40 minutes, every single program, setting, and bit of data was transferred to the backup and everything works fine. When the new iMac arrives, I'll use the same process to migrate the macbook pro onto the new machine. |
