So you can, but I kept getting various error messages and pages 
refusing to load, until I stumbled on this page:

<quoting>
Software Updates Download: 
Dear Roxio customer, Roxio.com now requires that you create a profile 
with us so that we can better serve your future needs. Your login 
profile stores all the information that you might need on our site, so 
you won't have to retype it when you visit us again. 
</quoting>

Isn't it amazing.  They *require* me to list my biography with them so 
*they* can "better serve" *my* needs!  Companies are doing this sort 
of nonsense all the time these days.  No thought to letting the 
customer decide whether they want or need that "better service".


Cheers, Phred.
