Well, now at least I know what changes Symantec is going to be making to
the upgrade policies for Peter Norton's products.  I just got the upgrade
offer for version 5 of the Norton Utilities.  Cost is $49, and apparently
you have to choose between the 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch diskette. 

Compare this with the upgrade offer for version 4.5 before Peter Norton sold
the company:  Cost was $39, and you got *both* 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch diskettes.
Hey, Symantec, what about those of us who as consultants tend to work on a
variety of machines.  I don't really feel like buying the program twice,
just so I can use it on all PCs.  (And no, I don't use it on more than one
machine at a time.)

At least they've given till December 31st to make the upgrade.  That way I
can look for reviews in the trade press and USENET and see how many bugs
the product has before I spend the money.  I'll be curious to see how the
'calibrate' option compares with other low level formatting programs.  I'm
also worried that Infoworld describes the program as having a 'more graphical'
appearance, since some of the machines I have around here don't have anything
more than the original monochrome graphics adapter.
