(My response is directed to anyone at Symantec.)

Isn't it about time that Symantec got its act together regarding SUM?  Here
we are talking about a version "e" revision of the Shield INIT.  What ever
happened to quality control?

I have gotten two revisions of Shield via USENET.  I started using the first
revision, experienced no difficulties with it, but then a second revision
popped up in my mail.  So I installed it, promptly tried to change the
defaults (using Disk Clinic) and found that the doggone thing would not accept
changes to the default!  I can't believe that nobody at Symantec tried such a
common operation on this update!  For shame.

Now I am back to using the original INIT that came with the package, and I'm a
bit concerned over installing yet another "fix."  I suppose that it is best to
update, as there must be problems in the original that I have not yet run
into, but can the user reasonably assume the next "fix" will be any better,
given Symantec's track record with SUM?

I hope Symantec has tested these new updates a bit more thoroughly than
previous updates.  A software company as big as Symantec ought to do better
than this.  (Microsoft ought to also, but they are beyond hope!)

By the way, how come no update notices have been sent to registered users?  Is
it because these updates have all been "beta" versions?
