No luck, but I could review it. I had to fill out the request form, send a copy of the Seeds and Stems, get the review published promptly, yada yada yada. OK, I've used Symantec's products for years. Apple support recommended NU 3.5 for re initializing the hard disk when I called-duh. Let's say it came very highly recommended.
Life is good.
I ordered the CD version of 8.1 in Feb of 1998. When the OS 8.1 CD arrived, it still said 8.0 on the label. Gun shy about the non-booting hard disk problem, I waited. Norton Utilities had bailed me out for months, but I had the CD version of 8.1-not the free download. The Doctor is in.
