Image As a Macintosh professional, it’s your job to bring dead computers back to life. And as you know, that usually means carrying around a collection of utilities and boot CDs, as well as external hard drives. Not anymore.

Introducing Techtool® Protégé. The pocket-sized toolbox for the Macintosh professional. This tiny FireWire-based device contains 2 gigabyte of memory and comes complete with the latest version of Mac OS X, the latest version of TechTool Pro and our latest drive partitioning utility DiskStudio. And there’s still room left over for your other utilities as well.

That means the next time you need to work on a Macintosh, you can plug in TechTool Protégé, boot very quickly and get right to work. No messing around with CDs, portable drives, installers and the myriad of other items you'd usually keep in your toolbox.

ImageWhen we started Micromat as a simple Macintosh repair shop way back in 1989, we'd always wanted something like this. And while it's been a few years since we've done field service, we wanted to be sure that this was something that a 21st century technician would still use. Shawn Titen is the service manager at MacNetworks, a Mac shop here in Santa Rosa. We set up Shawn with TechTool Protégé and asked him to tell us what he thought. He was impressed:

“This is nice, as I can plug it directly into the FireWire port of a machine and the computer booted from this drive, faster than a CD. I am able to run diagnostics and check stats on the computer. Small enough to fit in a pocket, makes it handy to carry around. This makes my job as a technician so much easier. No more looking for a power plug, and no need to find a FireWire cable.”
