Let me be more specific:  The package I received says "HAND-Off II" on it,
and the beginning of the letter from Connectix actually states "Thank you
for purchasing HAND-Off II (tm), the intelligent application launcher."

I didn't realize that Hand-Off (the original) was still an issue, but
rather assumed that we were all talking about HAND-Off II.  Anyway, it
appears that Connectix assumed FULL responsibility for it, not JUST for
the old and discontinued version.  This has not been confirmed by either
Connectix or The Hand-Off Corporation, but based on what I have here from
Connectix, I believe it to be the case.  If it becomes an issue, I can
call Connectix to find out, or anyone else can, too:  800/950-5880.
