Well...Femme, I use Speedisk every week. I've been using Norton Utilities since 1989; AAMOF I think I still have the NU version 4.5 install disks somewhere around here. I agree that the good old days are gone...but so far I've been pretty OK with the flexibility of this incarnation of SD. At least the Norton 2000 Edition, anyway. I've stayed away from upgrades because of the dumb-down trend I've seen in winblows software. NU 2000 is probably the end of the road for me. I also use Windoctor to go over the registry and get rid of the ActiveX registry errors every time I do a new 98 install..which there are about 20 of them on every from-scratch install. It all comes together in a package with Norton Utilities, the same NU version that I've been using since year 2000. Haven't seen a problem; but I'm sure that there may be better stuff out there. BTW, if anybody has access to the Norton Utilities version 7 or version 8 install disks, I'd be willing to work out a deal. I've got Dos 7.10 systems I want to keep around, and I can't find older versions of NU around anymore.
