DiskWarrior 4

Description

DiskWarrior has saved my butt more than once, and just did so again a few minutes ago, completely rebuilding my filesystem from scratch. I honestly don't know of a more under-valued piece of butt-saving software that doesn't stream porn or allow you to twitter from a lampshade.

Plug in my drive? Doesn't work? Not even recognized by my mac? Start up DW4.1, it runs through the drive and finds everything that was missing that it needs to find the files that it lost or can't find and just plain fixes it.

Wow. (And I don't mean world of warcraft, you geek). Just plain cool.

I love you, DiskWarrior. I really really do.

Description

This fantastic and amazing little bitty software bit lets you use one bluetooth mouse and keyboard (the mac version... I have not tried it with any other version) with more than one computer.

And it's so good to your skin... well, I'm soaking in it!

I mean, I'm using it right now, switching from my laptop keyboard with the failing 'e' to the bluetooth keyboard so I can actually type this without injuring my index finger slamming the e key again and again. And when I want to use the mouse and keyboard with the host computer? I just move the mouse across the screen to the edge where I "placed" it in the preferences, and it slides right to the next computer like the techno-magico it is.

Best thing of all? I pay what I want for it. Donationware only. But this puppy is worth enough to me that I'd consider paying a lot. Maybe even enough to buy a beer. Or, you know, a gallon of gasoline.

Now that's saying something.

Did I say "Designed by Apple in California"? I think that's all I have to say.

Pretty Good Music. Do you really need more of an explanation than that?
