I have spoken with the people from Symantec, and they have said they
will be shipping me a copy right away.  Mind you, they said that over
a week and a half ago, so you can draw your own conclusions about
their customer service for starters.  :-)

An interesting piece of trivia: apparently they were already working
on SAM-PC (Symantec Antivirus for MS-DOS) when they bought Norton, so
the package is really a combined project.

You're willing to admit that Ontario is *within* Canada?  :-)
