I understand your frustration with the issue. Once you get over it a bit, you
can usually find upgrades to 2004 very cheap. Norton SystemWorks has double
rebates to 2003 owners - one regular for-everybody rebate, and a previous
version rebate - should cost about $15 after all rebates - SystemWorks 2004
has a password manager - absolutely the greatest thing I use. Worth the money
all by itself. And if you only have the Norton anti-virus 2003 and not the
SystemWorks 2003, there are still double rebates, and in the end you should
probably only pay about $10, and your year starts over. I think I have even
seen it priced so it costs you nothing after rebates for anti-virus 2004 from
an earlier version. Just keep looking for sales.
