[pchelpers] Re: waste of time

I\ve been using Norton Ghost 2002 very successfully. The older
version would not ghost a WIN2K OS, but this does. However, I use it
from a floppy in a machine with two removable HDD trays. I use it to
ghost images of our 20 computers, many of which are regularly messed
up by students. I'm using it in the A:\ drive off a bootable version
of Norton Ghost 2002.
