You can get anything for free nowadays. Just because it's open source,
doesn't necessarily make it good or good to use. How many of you are
using payware, but didn't pay for it? Something called Windows, comes to
mind. Sure, it was included in the cost of your computer, but most
people with half a brain, know how to get upgrades for free.

Strange excuses... but true. It's a pig. Most people here complain about
how Microsoft and it's Operating Systems are so bloated... why give a
free pass to a software title, just because it's free? You know why
people have problems with their PC's? Because they don't know what
installing several software titles with overlapping capabilities can do
to their systems. Files get replaced in new installs of differing titles
or they "butt heads" "competing" for the "attention" of the OS. I have
friends that install anything that is the "latest and greatest" and end
up with software that used to work, but just doesn't seem "right" after
installing something they already have. Stick with what works that is
the minimum of what you need.

I hear ya! I don't like any program that changes my boot sector!


I REALLY like Acronis Tru Image. I use the PayWare current version,
but a previous version is usually free. Very slick, intuitive, and
reliable. You can back up and save partitions to a file without a
re-boot.

I have heard this as being as good as Norton's version. And everyone says
Norton is the best even though it has Norton's name on it.

I have never used partitions even though my main hd is 500G. Do I have to
learn them and how to use them?

Leads me to another request. Software that won't screw up everything if I
should partition. A little scary for me as I have never done it before.

It seems to me I heard somewhere that Glenn wrote in article

At the risk of interfering with the thread, I want to mention that
back in the days when Peter Norton himself ran the company it was one
of the best. I used a lot of his products on my Apple II+ when it was
still a hot item 30 or 35 years ago--file utilities, disk utilities,
and other forgotten stuff (no HD yet in those days). I do agree,
though, that the quality and the usefulness of the Norton products has
dropped under Symantec's management. Ghost is the only one I still
use.
