Yay me! Norton Utilities for free!
I'd just like to put in a plug for me. I rock!
I "participated" in the Norton Utilities 7.0 beta test, and today they sent me an e-mail that I would receive a free copy of Norton Utilities 7.0!
Yay me! 
I say "participated" in quotes, because I really didn't let it do any repairs to my hard drive, I just let it scan. I found one bug that was reporting a phantom volume when I would choose a volume to repair, and maybe that's why they picked me.
Yay me!
Here's to hoping that I also get a free copy of Norton AntiVirus 8.0 (I also "participated" in the beta test). That'd be so hilarious. -- simX

Will never use Norton again. The only fatal crash I've ever had was caused by Norton Utilities.

I agree with the virus - getting Nu for free is like riding a roller coaster with a knife being pressed to your abdomen for free. not sure i would really want it. But then Simone, you are the adventurous one among us

I've never had any bad problems with Norton Utilities. Then again, I've never really had any problems with TechTool (except that the optimization is DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG slow!!) or DiskWarrior, either. Come to think of it, I never really use disk repair utilities that much, anyway, for my PERSONAL comp, that is.
For my work, Norton Utilities has been the first tool I use, so no, it's not like Ed's analogy (but thanks for the propaganda, Ed ). -- simX
