Data Rescue II 1.1.3
Type: Comments
Date: 22 Oct 2007 23:55

TO: iLoveMyMac

First, the advertising on the software package and Prosoft's website plainly state "If your hard drive won't mount" and my hard drive wouldn't mount (as I stated in my original review). Second, the drive was still working to some degree or I wouldn't have been able to get a volume count on it. Third, to your ill-informed comment amount me not checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of my drive...I have Diskwarrior mounted to automatically check for such problems and it obviously failed, too. Is there anything else you would like me to do...burn incense maybe?

I recently awakened to find a Maxtor 500gb internal SATA drive making weird clunking sounds (less than one year from manufacture date). The drive wouldn't mount with any s/w I had so I traveled down to the local Apple store and picked up this app. Long story short, it failed to do anything constructive. I wrote the company and informed them the product was a bust for me. I also mentioned that before I ran a scan using the product I could see how much used/free space was on the disk, but after the scan all I could see was zero data used/remaining. I suppose the tech support folks got in a snit about my email because they didn't respond to a subsequent email I sent asking the the meaning of certain error codes the program showed, and whether or not attempting a reformat followed by another try with their product would increase the probability of recovering data. Bottom line: $100 wasted.

Apple Safari 3.0b

For the most part, I only see Safari playing catch-up with FireFox, and still having a ways to go. The plugin and add-on development is simply too strong and well-developed on the FF side. Maybe in a year or so there will be parody, but not yet. I'll stick with FF for the foreseeable future and remain thankful that I have No Script (which I absolutely love using to block 'Google Analytics' and other tracking mechanisms) and Cookie Safe installed.

Pandora 2.0.6

As a huge fan of the online Pandora Music service, I think it would be a good idea for you to change the name of this program. I imagine they have a wee bit more clout with this name than you.

Civilization IV: Warlords 1.61revB

Graphics fail to work properly on my Mac Pro (dual 2.66 w/ NVIDIA 7300GT). I tried all the different graphics settings in the game, yet there isn't any background showing up during game play. In other words, the characters appear to be standing in space--nothing but black.
