Many people, myself included, would much rather have a copy of Mace
utilities than Norton.  Mace doesn't have as many small utilities, but
the recovery tools are more complete, and much more reliable.  (The 
current version might not, but older versions of Disk Doctor sometimes
actually did more damage than good to crashed HD's.)
