ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Wow, I should really proofread my comments. I blame the muscle relaxers I'm on right now. =\  (Version 1.9.6)

ST00P!D M0NK3Y  Just giving this program 5 stars so to show my appreciation for such a wonderful application. This computer has helped solved issues with my computer(s) on many occasions. Thank you to the develop for making such a wonderful application free to the public. Keep up the amazing work. And don't forget about Snow Leopard when it comes out. =P

The only thing I think would make this app better is if it had a few more tweaking options for various OS X settings. I have really enjoyed the ability to change the default screen capture tool from PNG to JPG. That has saved me some time. But overall, this is a 5 star app ... and who could argue with the price? :)  (Version 1.9.6)

UGGERHOLT  I've been using OnyX for years – and run it as a regular, necessary routine at least once a month. DON'T listen to the few odd reviews – I don't know why some post bad experiences, but OnyX is definitely not to blaim!  (Version 1.9.6)

WALEXANDER  It broke two of my computers. DON'T USE THIS APPLICATION!!!!. Now I can't access any of the user accounts where the (optimization) was done. I had to create a new user account.

When logging into the broken user account, MacOSX now just freezes. Did more damage than it helped. Now i'm stuck.  (Version 1.9.6)
