A pre-release version of AppleJack is available for Intel and PPC Macs, here. This was previously only available for PPC Macs. AppleJack is a fantastic utility that will repair your disk, permissions, clean up cache files, virtual memory, and check your preferences for corruption. It's free, and easy to use, one of my top 10 utilities.
To use it, you start in single user mode, which is a command-line environment, but don't fear, all you need to do is type "applejack auto restart" without the quotes, hit return, and AppleJack will run and restart your computer when it's done. No need to boot off of a separate disk to repair your directory. Easy peasy.
The final Universal Binary version of AppleJack is available here.
"The other family of processors, the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX6700, is up to 80 percent faster than the company’s current Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X6800. This is the first quad-core desktop processor available, running at with 2.66GHz with a 1066MHz FSB. The processor runs on Intel’s existing 975X Express chipset family."
"Intel plans to launch two more quad-core Xeon chip designs in the first quarter of 2007, including one that draws just 50 watts for applications in ultra-dense data centers. The company will also launch a chip for mainstream desktops that quarter, calling it the Core 2 Quad."
So I came across a couple of Windows dialog boxes via Crossover Mac, and I gotta tell you: what a fugly, confusing, poorly worded and poorly designed POS Windows is. Bleccch.
If you have any doubts about what I'm talking about, take a look here. The quote at the top of that page is awesome.

Yet millions survive each working day on that beast.
I like my Mac, and will probably convert completely w/in 6 months (funds permitting.)
I still don't see what the big deal is, though. The stuff you cite is very small potatoes. There are far more confusing dialogues to be had on both systems.

I just don't know why they put up with it. I have to read a paragraph to know if I want to answer yes or no in Windows. On the Mac the choices are Save, Don't Save or Cancel. Pretty obvious.
But yes, I am acting like a spoiled little child, Windows does a lot of good work for a lot of people. I'm just ranting.
He's really non-specific. Plus, I don't know if he ran the universal version of AppleJack. [EDIT: I'm pretty sure he didn't run the compatible version. That'll screw you every time, incompatibility.]
Anyway, I love it. Easy to repair a drive, no need to boot from another volume. fsck-y is old news, you can boot into safeboot and it'll run fsck-y without you having to know the command (just hold shift down at restart).
is to a site where you can get mac versions of manic miner and jet set willy. I played those games when I had a zx spectrum (showing my age ). There are pc versions on the site also.

Oh, good catch!

Well, you have to install it, too. But yeah, it'll upgrade your existing installation.
