Hi Bill,

I have stayed with 10.3 for now until I see that the bugs have been worked
out of Tiger. I am using Norton Systemworks for now, however, Symantec has
discontinued supporting some of it. They still support Norton Antivirus for
MAC and a few other things. I wouldn?t recommend Norton. I use it because I
had already invested the money in it, however, next time I will go with
someone else.

I have used Norton since the early 90?s when I was Sr. Program Director for
GE Corporate Marketing in New York. It was an excellent product then, but
frankly now it stinks. When I switched to Panther, they had to send me a new
disk so it would work with it. It has never worked very well since.

I wonder, has anyone had good experience with Norton in the recent past?  So
far as I know, the last time it was useful was when system 6 was current.
