Should have ten stars! - whytoi

"I downloaded it this morning and used it to fix an OS X volume that was royally
screwed up. It fixed in three minutes what used to take two to three hours with
DW 2. This one is a real winner!". JBMelby, really? How did you reproduce
identical screw ups repeatedly? Did you learn to avoid these screw ups?

Should have ten stars! - jbmelby

This post really doesn't deserve an answer, but I'll try to answer it anyhow--but not in the snide fashion in which the question was posed.

Of course there weren't identical screw-ups; any idiot would know that. However, I have compared the new Disk Warrior 3 logs to similar ones from Disk Warrior 2--similar (not identical, but similar) numbers of problems of roughly the same type, especially those with overlapping files, noting the amount of time that DW 2 took to repair the problems (anywhere from two to four hours)--and DW 3 took only a small fraction of the time needed by DW 2.

I do professional Mac consulting, and I know my way around the problems posed by disk corruption, as well as many other problems. I regard my comparison as valid. If you don't, then stick with OS 9 and DW 2. Either option will get the job done.
