JACOBUS77 I have used Onyx with Jaguar, Panther and Tiger. (Haven't seen a burning need to get Leopard.) I have found it to be well-planned and highly valuable. I believe the majority here value it too. Those who find fault with it, I swear would find fault with someone handing them a silver dollar. It works great and it's free. Esthetics: I LIKE the brushed-metal-with-Aqua-accents. Maybe because I like OSX and its Aqua interface? Interface: Straightforward and useable, IMHO. There are improvements that could be made, as there are to any software. And nothing the writer does can possibly please everybody. Functionality: Gives excellent command over more of the system than any other utility I can think of. I've found the defaults to be quite safe on all the Macs I've tested it on. I did have a merry dance fixing one after I checked one too many boxes, but that was my fault, not Onyx. Permissions repair seems better booting from the system DVD, but Onyx does almost every OSX-Unix maintenance routine you can do from a hard drive session. And that is a lot. (Version 2.0.5b2) |
