You can't compare the 2 situations. The Neuron product cost us $1300CDN +
phone calls. Norton utilities...almost nothing. Moreover at least Symantec
is not a fly by night company and does honour their warranty( as they did 
when they took back the Norton Desktop for Windows from me- no questions
asked-> they had a trial period). Has anyone actually been happy with Neuron?
As far as I can tell I can only recall 2 positive notes re Neuron. One from
someone who received prompt on-site attention from Dan and Linus for some
problem and another months ago from someone who liked Synapse.

Word 5.0 is being praised. Microsoft dominates the Mac world.

The Neuron issue is real. The issues do not only affect a few.
