[Macpartners] Macintosh Utility Software Recommendations

[Albert Willis]

What I meant is that HFS+ with journaling turned on is robust enough 
that even when there's an operating system crash or sudden power 
outage, the file system can generally repair itself. Yes, there still 
will be times when something industrial strength like Disk Warrior is 
required, but not as often as the Mac OS 9.x days.
