You're right, those comments are informed and gratifying.

My other sentiment is a recollection of an interval when the word Norton meant
useful, not hungry.

Norton Utilities was an app that no one I knew was without.  Peter Norton had
some great ideas and implemented them well.  I wonder what he'd be thinking
about how Symantec has changed things.

My guess? He's diplomatically shaking his head the way Sal Marantz did at a CES
show in the late '70s.

How many companies have managed to expand scope, scale, and maintain integrity
the way Microsoft has? I could name a few, but only a few.

Remember Andrew Schuman's Undocumented DOS?

Then again, Thompson was an IBM lifer before he got the Symantec gig after
Eubanks Left.

I can't believe it either!

Anyone still remember a small nugget called ncd.com - Norton Change Directory? I
still miss it when changing directories from the command line.
