This is correct. OSX needs no defragging.

Norton Utilities for OS9 will defrag if you so need to, but fragmentation in OS9 is not such a big deal eather because of the way it stores Application DATA. Unlike a PC where a billion files can be scatered thrughout a harddrive, Mac files are usually few and self contained. So you rearly gain any benifit from defragging OS9 in the first place.
