LOL! I remember those days...

I promised myself every version of Roxio I bought would be my last. Finally,
with version 8 sitting unused on the floor and the version 9 "upgrade"
e-mails safely deleted. I may have stopped the madness.

I found the older I get the less sophisticated my needs are. As much as I
don't like bloat, the new features in Windows cause me to buy (or upgrade)
fewer 3rd party utilities. And I suppose "bloat" is relative... Being able to
image my drive with Vista eliminates Ghost. Basic burning eliminates Roxio.
Together they are over a GB fully loaded...
