If computer hardware and productivity (non-utility) software had far fewer built-in errors and actually worked the way it is supposed to work, there would be a lot less necessity for repair utilities. Yet, these very repair utility software packages both suffer themselves from their own plentiful supply of programming errors (bugs), as well as suffering at the hands of operating system, hardware, and other software bugs in the Vintage Mac OS (9 and earlier) unprotected memory personal computing environment. They are extremely popular and often necessary, precisely because the other software and hardware they purport to fix/troubleshoot are so riddled with errors and mistakes as to make them barely usable under many normal circumstances. At least until someone invents the bulletproof personal computer operating system (OSeX seems to be a good move in that direction, though could use improvement).Īctually, computer repair utilities are strange beasts. Oh those repair utilities… gotta love ’em. Latest content verification and revision of review: March 2005 with TechTool Pro version 3.0.9 Hardware range: Mac Plus (TT Pro 1 only) to CRT iMac DV Some of you may still find it useful to read or scan this older review to learn how MicroMat and its products have been marketed and performed historically, as some factors or trends may likely continue onward into newer versions. I do not expect to put the sort of effort seen in the reviews below into reviewing TTP 4 or newer unless/until i start using it sufficiently, which so far looks unlikely. I therefore so far have no opinion on TTP 4 or later and these newer versions are not discussed in this review. While i actually have had a copy of TTP 4 (part of a bundle package) since fall 2007, i have spent no more than about 20 minutes using it so far, mostly poking at it. ![]() So far, my repair utility of choice for the Mac OS X series is DiskWarrior 3 or 4. I was dropped as a tester because at the time i was not running Mac OSeX. These experiences may have affected the tone, content, or both, of this review, even though i am unable to detect any significant influence from them. My dealings with MicroMat personnel were generally highly positive. While this was an unpaid position, i asked for, and received, a CD-ROM copy of a couple of TTP versions from MicroMat at no out-of-pocket cost to me.
