First of all, David needs to be commended ALOT for his efforts. He is the only developer who has been able to have his software create a bootable clone. He has refused to give up, and needs to be commended for that.
Secondly, David clearly is “thinking outside the box”. Wow, innovation! Seems like some folks don’t approve of such innovation. I do. Shoot, Apple supposedly is an innovative company, and I’ll bet some of their development efforts involve “thinking outside the box”.
Third, if Apple does not “approve” of David’s methods, why would they fix the replicator on OS 15.3? Also, as I have mentioned before, David has been doing this for quite a while, whereas applications like CCC and Chronosync have “gone the way of the doo doo bird”. Apple never stopped him then, correct?
Finally, so what CCC has more capabilities than SD. It of course depends on what one needs. For me, SD is good enough. And SD does something that CCC can’t do: create bootable clones. I’ll take such effort and innovation ANY day!
