Anyone use drive imaging programs ??

[gb933-lon]

I forgot to mention that using Acronis True Image has probably saved me over $700 in recent years because of not having to buy Microsoft Office.

I create a drive image before I install the 60-day free trial of the most current version of MS Office Professional. When the 60 day trial ends, I simply restore my image and reinstall another 60 day free trial. Repeat this process as long as you want.

Thanks, Acronis!

I do that because I'm always fearful a drive image might become corrupted and therefore all my personal files would be lost.

I understand, gb933-Ion. I mentioned the virtual hard drive feature because I think it's an "added bonus" which some folks might not be aware of. It has certainly come in handy for me.
