    Works with Mac OS X ?

    Does this product work with Mac OS X v10.2.2 ? If so then this is a very welcomed software product feature IMO as re-partitioning the old way is a real pain and error prone wrt to reloading data that was safeguarded in order to repartition HD.

    If this work with Mac OS X then I'll buy for sure at the discounted price of $19.95 minus 10% for first time buyer!

    No OS X :(

    It should work on an OS X partition, but you have to boot into OS 9 to run it, or use Classic. What were they thinking?

    The fact that it'll only work in OS9 isn't that much of a problem...you're gonna have to boot from a CD containing this software anyway if you want to resize a partition that you're using as your boot disk, so who cares if that's OS9 or OSX (as a matter of fact, I don't think they've found a way to make a bootable OSX CD anyhow).

    The real problem is...what the heck's gonna happen after next January, when supposedly, Apple will ship machines that will not boot OS9??

    A very useful software, but too little, too late...
