Awesome App - Needs Update - Version: 0.9.9b9, 9/26/2003 09:54AM PST

This is a great app that does the job elegantly and reliably ... that is until OSX 10.2.7 & as I understand 10.2.8 (which has been pulled).

It seems it broke since 10.2.7

Keep up the great work.

Apart from needing to be updated with each new OS release, just the best.
Hope to see 10.2.8 version soon.

Crashes each and every time - Version: 0.9.9b9, 8/12/2003 01:20AM PST

I tried to run this app three times - each time a white window flashed up very briefly after launch, then the HD would work a lot and after 5 minutes or so, the app crashes with an unexpected error.

I used the latest version 0.9.9b9 that should work with OS 10.2.6, according to the read me. I quit all other applications, I printed out the emergency tips - did everything right but the app simply won't work.
