I haven't tried either one of them, so I really can't verify the review. Now that both programs are out in stores, just *when* is central point is going to ship the upgrades to those customers who ordered the upgrade? I remember when I ordered Prodigy and it took a full 8 1/2 weeks to arrive. And was it worth it? I used it once, and quit. Thank god it was a free offer.. I purchased PCTools V7 last night. I spent 2 hrs last night and another 2 this morning putting it on. It took about 4 meg (or so) and I didn't install all of it. It's pretty impressive that it comes with soo much. I upgraded from nortons 4.51 and it's quite a change. bruce -- Bruce O'Neel oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/GSFC/STX/Code 664
