Sweet, very good find:) BTW does anyone know whether we have to pay for the Norton Anti Virus updates or not for this package?

GOOD question. Currently, w/NSW 2001, you get one year of free updates, then you have to pay. This is easily circumvented by uninstalling/reinstalling the suite. Voila! INstant one more year. It would be nice if this was the same.

Awesome. :)

I definitely made a new email address first and used that though. ;) nsw@<my website>.com - hehe.

Currently that mail gets forwarded to my regular account anyway, but that is easily changed. ;)

So far I've gotten exactly ONE email from Symantec.

Dear MichaelD,

Thank you for your interest in Norton SystemWorks Professional 2003.You will receive your free NFR copy within a few weeks.

If you are already a Symantec Partner, re-visit PartnerNet and logon to our new PartnerPromos site (separate password required) to take advantage of PartnerMarketing, a new direct marketing tool that allows you to customize and send Symantec direct and e-mail campaigns to your customers with a simple click of your mouse!

In the future, if they piss me off, I can always block them from sending me any further email. OTOH, I do get regular "spam" from Symantec....but it usually has to do w/trivial things like viruses and the odd system worm.........I usually read them before deleting, you know!

Thanks Lucky. I'm interested to see if they actually ship this out, or if it's just a ploy to get your email address for spamming purposes.

Excellent. Ive been scouring for systemworks deals for a while now, and I dont think it gets any better than this.


BTW, I regularly check out HD but there were times that Ive missed a LOT of good deals because the threads get lost between other threads. This is one of the few that Ive been able to get in on.


Thanks Lucky :D

Yeah I know. :eek: Just thought this deal would die fast, and since it was a pretty big freebie I'd help spread the word. ;)
