I've read others here say it was a little buggy, yet some past messages
indicate it did a good job.

Would it be a good test to create an image of several directories and just
restore them to a different partition (if possible). Is there a better
test of the program, before I part with the cash for ver 10?

Since v10 is out for a while... All that personal information... Oh sure,
could be legitimate.


Best wishes to all for a safe and joyous holiday season.

Super cool! Since it seems to be working for you there, fill out the forms
and tell us what happens, please. Thanks!

What did you expect to happen? I got a registration e-mail with login
information. After logging into my account on their website I saw a menu
with all the links regarding TrueImage 7: download link, link to updates,
serial number etc.

The *only* information you have to provide are
a )your firstname and lastname and
b) a valid e-mail account.

Since a) doesn't have to be real and Spamgourmet and others exist for b), I
don't really understand what your problem is?

You are so emotionally involved in this, ehh?

My "problem" was that I was getting an "Offer now invalid" but now that
you've been so nice with the abundance of information, I'll keep on trying
back... Because I always wanted an obsolete by 3 versions software in my
free stuff folder.
