My real desktop isn't tidy, but I like to keep my computer desktop organized as much as possible. I file things away where I think I'll find them again later and I can usually locate the document I'm looking for without resorting to Spotlight to find it. Things that are in a queue for filing are kept in a folder on my desktop with the uninspired title of "Stuff". If it's in there too long, it gets trashed or filed eventually and if it's something I just downloaded to look at later, that's probably where it is. I noticed this morning that "Stuff" was missing from my desktop. Probably because I emptied it and deleted it but don't remember doing it. I'd like to search my hard drive and verify what was in it and when it was deleted, but I ran into a few problems.

Ages ago, Norton Utilities was the killer app for defragging and otherwise maintaining and repairing your Mac's hard drive. I actually just bought a new version this September in order to use undelete. Well, Symantec has stopped supporting most of their Mac products and now I just don't know where to turn. Any suggestions?

Apple's website only seems to have a link to Micromat Inc. and their TechTool Pro software. I think this is the same thing they're selling in their brick stores too. It seems good, and their TechTool Protege product is really cool if really expensive.
