2006-06-20 17113, 2006

Ghost is about the only piece of software worth a crap and it even stinks compared to Acronis

Usually it worked just like it was supposed to, sometimes not.

Ghost has its purpose because they never borked and bloated it up
2006-06-20 17113, 2006

And I dislike the fact that their updates seemed mostly center around remote operation of the program, instead of the issues I had with it. :)

other than that... oh yea PC Anywhere was pretty good stuff

until it became BloatWare like the rest of their crap .. and their AV software is just hideous

The whole Systemworks package is quite awful
2006-06-20 17130, 2006

For the fact that it's so dumbed down that either fixing or reinstalling the product is a tedious chore
2006-06-20 17153, 2006
teleGUISE
yea it used to be functional (somewhat) until it became spinning numbers to impress you and actually didnt do crap or borked things up
2006-06-20 17159, 2006

Since, speaking from personal experience, it can uninstall nicely but leave some crap behind so that it refuses to install again
2006-06-20 17121, 2006
teleGUISE
yea.. removal of norton stuff definitely required good ole regedit
2006-06-20 17126, 2006

And also, while at that situation, produce two tons of error messages during every boot for all missing services :)

Gotta love bad wording... just modded a wiki page on last.fm where someone tried to write that a band had split up. The words they used: "The Band has since then been dismembered"
2006-06-20 17120, 2006

well you never know... was that the reason for the break up :) ?

I can think of less painful ways to put a band to rest. :-P

the ASIN is correct, but why transliteration. Why not original script or a real translation.

Man, there are a lot of shifts from Engrish to Kanji/? wonder if that's to the transliterated forms that were aded.

I know, it is how the label printed it, but why - it is absolute gibberish unless you understand Greek, and if you do, then why not the original script form
