John,
I put Ghost on my girlfriend's computer. It was a disaster. Pieces
of it still remain deep on the hard drive where even a format didn't
get it off. PLEASE DON'T TELL HER. She is wonderful and I don't want
to lose her. It was just a simple slip of the fingers when I
installed Norton Systemworks. Ok that is a lie. I just thought it
might be really good to have it. It wasn't.
Best regards,
Jimmy Snowden
