Lol..Look under Acknowledgements..I'm still there<g> and with a still functional email..too funny.

Clean out prior updates meant.... Updates that were downloaded and saved to disk/cd that are no longer necessary having been superceded by a later update.

Imo, an Imaging program should be one of the first purchases, ranking with an AV program in terms of importance. Ghost 12 will be the next Symantec Vista compatible(circa April 07)..

Ahh ok I got you on the clean out part. Lol, yep that is the site, Ben Jos Walbeehm. Great memory, and you're even acknowledged! You must be an old guy... :-)

He did have interesting colors on that site. It was great. Thanks for a blast to the past.
