RE: Spam from Symantec

["Dan Harrington" <dan () tudan net>]

You can get Norton Systemworks for $29.00 at CompUSA too.  I think its 
over-agressive resellers of Symantec software trying to make you believe
that this is a one time special and you can't get it anywhere else....

When if you walk into Office Depot, Staples, CompUSA and many others, they have 
the same special.

Cheers
Dan
