Although there appear to be some problems between Norton Utilities and System 7.0, I wouldn't guess that to be the reason for the sale. Instead, I expect they are doing this to clear inventory (i.e., an update is coming), or just to thank users of other Symantec products, not including Norton Utilities. John -- John A.
