...is it worth $29.95? 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.

Yeah, we run lots of software packages and OS here but I can usually do
a tear down and rebuild in one evening. The key is to have everything
ready in advance. A good plan goes a long way. Even for those German
screwdriver applications the "elite" users here install.snerk

There's room in that kitchen for motorcycles *and* lots of software
packages?

HD Floppies take hardly any space at all.
